A-PDF Rename provides a powerful utility for efficiently managing PDF document names and properties. This software allows users to batch rename numerous PDF files by extracting information directly from their content, leveraging existing metadata such as Title, Author, Subject, Keyword, Creator, Producer, or even file attributes like size and datetime. Beyond just renaming, it also enables bulk modification and updating of PDF metadata fields, including title, creator, producer, author, subject, and keywords. The program offers flexible naming options through a 'Simple mode' utilizing predefined macros (e.g., %Title%) and an 'Advanced mode' that supports Pascal-scripting for highly customized naming conventions. This advanced capability allows users to define complex rules, such as extracting specific text snippets (like invoice numbers) from within the PDF content to form part of the new filename or metadata. A-PDF Rename is a standalone application, making it a cost-effective solution as it does not require expensive third-party software like Adobe Acrobat Pro. Its ability to process hundreds of documents rapidly significantly saves time, and its command-line support facilitates automation, allowing users to define and reuse renaming rules for recurring tasks.
