Bulk PDF Rename

What is Bulk PDF Rename?

Bulk PDF Rename helps you rename multiple PDF files at once using custom naming patterns. Instead of renaming files one by one, you can apply the same naming rules to all your files in seconds.

Why Would You Need to Rename PDFs in Bulk?

Here are common situations where this tool saves you hours of work:

• Organizing exam papers: Rename scan001.pdf, scan002.pdf to "Math_Grade7_01.pdf", "Math_Grade7_02.pdf"
• Sorting student assignments: Add class name and subject to unclear filenames
• Archiving documents: Add dates and categories to files for easy searching later
• Preparing materials: Standardize filenames before sharing with colleagues or students
• Cleaning up downloads: Replace messy names like "document(12).pdf" with meaningful names

How to Rename PDFs in Bulk - Step by Step

1. Upload your PDFs: Drag and drop multiple PDF files or click to browse. You can select as many files as you need.
2. Set naming pattern: Use placeholders like {subject}, {class}, {num} to create your naming pattern. Example: "{subject}_{class}_{num}" becomes "Math_7A_01.pdf"
3. Fill in values: Enter your subject name, class name, teacher name, or other details that will replace the placeholders.
4. Preview names: Click "Preview Names" to see how your files will be renamed before processing.
5. Rename and download: Click "Rename & Download" to get a ZIP file containing all your renamed PDFs.

Available Placeholders

• {original}: Keeps the original filename
• {num}: Adds sequential numbers (1, 2, 3 or 01, 02, 03)
• {date}: Adds current date in your chosen format
• {subject}: Adds the subject name you enter
• {class}: Adds the class name you enter
• {teacher}: Adds the teacher name you enter
• {year}: Adds current year

Key Features

• Custom patterns: Create any naming pattern using placeholders
• Prefix and suffix: Add text before or after the main filename
• Auto numbering: Sequential numbers with optional zero-padding (01, 02, 03)
• Preview before rename: See exactly how files will be renamed
• ZIP download: Get all renamed files in one convenient download
• Safe processing: Original PDF content is never modified

Tips for Best Results

• Always use Preview to check filenames before processing
• Use underscores (_) or dashes (-) instead of spaces for cleaner filenames
• Keep filenames short but descriptive
• Use padded numbers (01, 02) if you have more than 9 files to keep them sorted
• The "lowercase" option helps maintain consistency

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool change the content of my PDFs?

No, only the filenames are changed. The content inside each PDF stays exactly the same.

Is there a limit on how many files I can rename?

You can rename dozens of files at once. For very large batches, the processing might take a bit longer.

What happens if two files end up with the same name?

The tool automatically adds a number suffix to prevent duplicates. For example, if "Math_7A_01.pdf" already exists, the next one becomes "Math_7A_01_1.pdf".

Can I use Indonesian characters in filenames?

Yes, you can use Indonesian text in your naming patterns. The tool handles special characters properly.
