The only problem with these methods is that you can only rename files one by one. Windows PowerShell also offers a renaming cmdlet.
You can rename files from your Windows/File Explorer or via MS DOS (command prompt). Windows does provide ways of renaming your files. The most widely used property for renaming files is the ‘date created’ or ‘date modified’ property. Most of the time this files are renamed by the utility with numbers according to how they were found if you so choose, you can rename these files using their properties. A common case is where a user has recovered data using a recovery utility. Common properties are ‘Date created,’ ‘Date modified,’ ‘Author,’ ‘Title’ among others tags. Using the file properties are some of the best ways to rename your files. It will probably take you ages to rename these files, so what you need is a way to bulk rename or batch rename your files. Is there a way to run an action that can accomplish this?Īny help would be great- I've tried figuring it out myself, to no avail.Sometimes you have hundreds of files that you need to rename in a certain format. I now have a folder full of pdf's labeled generically "filename #.pdf" (ex: Cola-Brands 1.pdf, Cola-Brands 2.pdf, Cola-Brands 3.pdf)Īs each page has a unique advertiser logo, and I want to re-name each file specific to that advertiser (ex: if the Coke logo is on page 1, the Pepsi logo on page 2, Sprite logo on page 3, I want the pdf for page 1 renamed to "Coke.pdf", page 2 "Pepsi.pdf", page 3 "Sprite.pdf", etc).
So, I've created a multi-page PDF in InDeign, exported it, ran an action with (Acrobat's) Action Wizard to split the multi-page PDF into individual files. In an attempt to help clearly explain what I am asking for, lets say I have built a multi-page file for Cola advertisers, and have split it into multiple pages, and now wish for those pages to be specifically renamed without doing it manually. I know the pages can have suffixes added before or after parts of a file name, but, this does not help me- I need to find a way to run an action that specifically re-names pages in a sort of "Find and replace" manner, or, page #="specific".īasically, I have 51 pdf's labeled 1-51 that I want to re-name specific to that page's advertiser. In an attempt to streamline workflow, I am trying to batch rename multiple PDF's using an action that would re-name the file based on it's page number.
