Is there a way to batch rename PDFs in a folder with content from the file? i.e. the title field

Hi, I have a load of documents in a folder. Most have names like 2334.pdf, 3645.pdf etc. Does anyone know of a way to automatically get the title from withing each file and rename the file with that title i.e. doc title.pdf
I found a product from a-odf.com that claims to do this, but I was hoping to use adobe's product.
Thanks in advance
Nelson

There is no "out of box" tool per se that does this type of task, but you could probably script it with an Action that uses JavaScript.  If you are not familiar with Acrobat JavaScript then you will need to find someone who is familiar with it to assist you in building it.

  • Is there a way to print a pdf, which is secured with password?

    I want to know a way to print pdf which is secured with password to print without throwing a error ?
    Instead it has to ask for a password and print..

    we need to have an associated application installed in the system for that particular fileYup.
    does javax.print api works for pdf files and word documents?Nope.
    There is something called (I think) iText which can handle PDF documents. No idea whether it includes a printing facility or not.

  • Is there a way I can have Business Catalyst automatically import product content from Amazon? (e.g. a Web App I could build, perhaps?)

    I'm currently building a site using Drupal that is basically a huge book database and book review site. In order to acquire basic information about certain books I'm using an Amazon module that automatically pulls information into my Drupal database (such as author name, page count, publication date, etc.) based on any ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) I enter. It's a pretty nice arrangement. Also, people can click on a link that leads them to the item on Amazon so that they can purchase it and I can collect a puny affiliate commission. Yay Internet!
    But I'd like to use Muse and Business Catalyst instead. I was able to create a Web App version of my database but I can't figure out how to 1) automatically import based on ASIN and 2) automatically link each book record in the database to its page on Amazon. Honestly, if I could just get the info into the database alone I'd be happy.
    I'm afraid that Adobe would have to create some sort of connection on their end that interfaces with the Amazon API - and therefore there is no way to create such a website now using Muse. But, of course, I don't know everything so I ask you all: is there a way this can happen now?
    Thanks for all of your input!

    To do stuff like that will always need custom coding and things like API work. You will never be able to use Muse for that, its a basic site design tool that can hook up to BC modules. You will need to use coding software and have custom API work done for things like this.

  • Is there a way to batch rename images after import?

    After importing images and doing some further organization of my old library, I want to give the names a more descriptive name. Is this possible after I have already imported the images?

    You can change the Version Name (what you see in Aperture) at any time, either manually or with the Batch Change function. Changing the name of the actual file is more tricky and only possible with referenced Masters.

  • Is there a way to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool...

    Is there a way to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool
    that will install successfully into the personal store in IE?

    hi,
    It is possible to make a self-signed client certificate with keytool and i am successfully using in my dummy application.
    The first thing you need to do is create a keystore and generate the key pair. You could use a command such as the following:
    keytool -genkey -dname "cn=Mark Jones, ou=JavaSoft, o=Sun, c=US"
    -alias business -keypass kpi135 -keystore C:\working\mykeystore
    -storepass ab987c -validity 180
    (Please note: This must be typed as a single line. Multiple lines are used in the examples just for legibility purposes.)
    This command creates the keystore named "mykeystore" in the "working" directory on the C drive (assuming it doesn't already exist), and assigns it the password "ab987c". It generates a public/private key pair for the entity whose "distinguished name" has a common name of "Mark Jones", organizational unit of "JavaSoft", organization of "Sun" and two-letter country code of "US". It uses the default "DSA" key generation algorithm to create the keys, both 1024 bits long.
    It creates a self-signed certificate (using the default "SHA1withDSA" signature algorithm) that includes the public key and the distinguished name information. This certificate will be valid for 180 days, and is associated with the private key in a keystore entry referred to by the alias "business". The private key is assigned the password "kpi135".
    Also please go through the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html
    This would help u better.
    bye,
    Arun

  • Any way to batch rename photos in Finder?

    After three days of wrestling with iPhoto '09, rebuilding libraries, etc., and following advice of helpful knowledgeable folks on Apple Support Communities, I have failed to prevent the crashes that follow every attempt to export retitled photos to a USB drive or garbbling up the the photos in the newly created libraries.  I am still open to tips from the Apple Support Communities but my hopes are not high.
    Another way I am hoping to complete the task is to drag the photos from iPhoto to the USB drive (or Desktop), but the new titles do not come through and all revert to the original file names which are cryptic.  So, my question is if there is a way to "batch" rename the photos on USB, but such that I can enlarge the thumbviews to enable me to better identify which photo is which?  I can not find a way to rename the files in batches in Finder.  Does OSX offer any utility in any of its other features?  Do I need to get an App online?

    You can use this Automator Service.
    1. Open Automator
    2. Select Service
    3. Select Rename Action, [✓] Show this Action when the workflow runs.
    4. Save as Rename
    The Workflow is:
    Now, select the files in Finder, right-click and select Rename:

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

    is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

    Hi Kiana,
    As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

  • Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

    With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
    Thanks!

    For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.
