Is their a way to pull the Authors name from the User Login on the Mac into an InDesign Document?

I am hoping to be able to put an applescript on a template which will automatically draw the Author (whoever edited it last) onto the page. It could happen on opening the file or before printing and saving the file.

Some files have metadata information available and it may have an author different from the current user.
If this information is present, it can be seen in the listing from the shell tool 'mdls'. The call from Terminal looks like:


$ mdls /path/to/some.ext
