Rename PDF

Give a downloaded PDF a descriptive filename so it is easier to identify, sort and share.

Open Rename PDF · Read the guide

How to: step-by-step

  1. Select the PDF.
  2. Enter the new filename.
  3. Run Rename PDF or use the tool download action.
  4. Check the filename in your Downloads folder.

Tips for better results

  • Use a pattern such as project-document-date.
  • Keep names short enough to read on a phone.

Common pitfalls

  • Changing the filename does not change the document title stored inside the PDF.
  • Renaming a non-PDF with a .pdf extension does not convert it.

Before you finish

This is a file naming change, not a content edit or format conversion.
