Can I rename a PDF file based on the metadata? (prefer a bulk rename)

I had to do a file recovery on a hard drive with a program called TestDisk. It recovered 30GB+ of files but it recovered data by ignoring the partition/partition table. Because of this it uses its own naming structure during the recovery. The names of the files are f_______.XXX. I noticed that when I hover over the PDF files it actually displayed the original file name. I looked in the file proerties and noticed the PDF tab which contained this. Does anyone know if I can rename the file(s) using this data. The summary tab on the file properties is blank but the file name is located under this PDF tab (I didn't even know this existed). I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of the files but being able to bulk rename 8GB of PDFs would be great!  :-)
Thanks,
Sundiata

ok I'm not into programming and not familiar with Javascript. Does anyone know any websites to maybe assist me with making this batch file or at least provide enough basic Javascript info to get me started and I may be able to figure this out. Or is this Javascript something that is auto. something created during the renaming process creation?
Thank

  • How to search to files based on the metadata of the category in CS

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me how to search the files in the content services based on the metadata of the Category,I know how to search based on the Category using
    public static void attributSearch(String searchString)
    throws FdkException, RemoteException, Exception
    // get the Manager instances
    SearchManager sem = s_WsCon.getSearchManager();
    CategoryManager cat = s_WsCon.getCategoryManager();
    CommonManager cm = s_WsCon.getCommonManager();
    FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
    Item folder = fm.resolvePath("/idc/workspaces/BoardMembersProject", null);
    AttributeRequest[] catAttr =
    WsUtility.newAttributeRequestArray("ProjectCategory");
    // create AttributeRequest to retrieve CATEGORIES attribute
    AttributeRequest[] catClassAttr = WsUtility.newAttributeRequestArray(
    Attributes.CATEGORIES, catAttr);
    // define search options
    NamedValue[] nv = WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {            
    { Options.SEARCH_VERSION_HISTORY, Boolean.TRUE },
    { Options.RETURN_COUNT, new Integer(100)
    // get search expresiion
    SearchExpression seExp = new SearchExpression();
    // searchString ="ProjectCategory";
    Item[] item = cat.getRequiredCategories(folder.getId(),catClassAttr);
    seExp = new SearchExpression();
    NamedValue[] attributes = item[0].getRequestedAttributes();
    seExp.setOperator(FdkConstants.OPERATOR_HAS_CATEGORY);
    seExp.setRightOperand("["+item[0].getName()+"]");
    // search documents
    NamedValue[] result = sem.search(seExp, nv, null);
    // search result display
    for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++)
    if (result.getName().equals(Options.SEARCH_RESULTS))
    Item[] resulItem = (Item[]) result[i].getValue();
    WsUtility.log("Kveni",resulItem);
    if (resulItem != null)
    for (int j = 0; j < resulItem.length; j++)
    WsUtility.log("File " +resulItem[j].getName());
    But how do one search Based on the attributes of the category??
    thanks

    Download the PM accelerator kit appropriate to your environment, and check out the TestSearch2.java example.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/cs/developer/contentservicesdev/contenservicesdevkit.html
    Essentially you need to lookup the internal names of your category attributes, as well as have the internal name of your category class.
    categoryClassName = ...; // e.g. AHC_XXX
    attribute1name = ....; // e.g. CUSTOM_MYBOOLATTR
    you then create a normal search expression such as
    String attribute1Operand = "[" + categoryClassName + FdkConstants.SEPARATOR + attribute1name + "]";
    SearchExpression expr1 = new SearchExpression();
    expr1.setOperator(FdkConstants.OPERATOR_EQUAL);
    expr1.setLeftOperand(attribute1Operand);
    expr1.setRightOperand(Boolean.TRUE);

  • This is actually a FF 4 RC question...but I can no longer open PDF files...the page just goes blank. No option in applications to set a PDF viewer as default. Help!

    How do you open PDF files in FF4 RC? The application section in options doesn't have PDF as an option to associate with a program. Whenever I click on a PDF file, I just get a blank tab.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

    how to rename a pdf file on android 4.0

    If you have the latest version of Adobe Reader, you can go to Documents, make sure that the view is set to "Folder View". Navigate to see the file you want to rename, and then you can use the "manage" button to go into a mode to select the file you want to rename, then tap the "rename" icon, which looks like a text cursor.

    How can I combine different pdf files in one?
    created by Sara.Forsberg in Adobe PDF Pack - View the full discussion 
    Hi Flávia,
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
    However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
    Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
    Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
    Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
    Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
    Click OK.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

    Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

    For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
    I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
    * Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
    *[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

  • How can I attach a PDF file to an email I am replying to?

    Hi!
    How can I attach a PDF file already saved on my iPad to an existing email I am replying to from my inbox??

    If you have the PDF stored on the iPhone as a separate file you obviously also have a third party app for reading it, so you should be able to e-mail it from there.
    If it's on an existing e-mail, forward the e-mail and just change the contents but include the pdf
