How do you batch re-name pdfs in Acrobat X Pro?

If I have 5000 pdf files in a folder and I need to change the file names from Document A.pdf, Document B.pdf, Document C.pdf, Document D.pdf, etc. to Document A-1.pdf, Document B-1.pdf, Document C-1.pdf, Document D-1.pdf, etc and don't have time to go through each individual pdf file and click re-name, what is the easiest way to do this?
Thank you for any help.

In my opinion, open Action wizard and simply save them to PDF without adding any actions. And while saving them, add the suffix.
Please Note: It may change the property of Reader Extended files and similar.....
To do this:
Click File Menu-> Action Wizard-> Create new Action and do as shown in the screen shot below:

How do I batch unlock/decrypt PDFs in Acrobat XI?

I've been trying to implement an action in the Action Wizard to batch remove the security on multiple PDFs. I came across this post and have been trying to implement the steps it describes:
http://answers.acrobatusers.com/ViewQuestion.aspx?questionid=16649
The action I've set up loads the files and saves them to a new location, but the password protection is still there when I open the new files. The Encrypt step seems to be doing nothing at all. I'm running Acrobat XI on a free trial at the moment, so I don't know if something changed in XI where this technique no longer works or if it's a limitation of the free trial. My action steps look like this:

The workflow described on AcrobatUsers.com is no longer supported.
As it says on the Preferences dialog in Acrobat XI Pro, the concept of pre-entering a Security Method for an Action only works for scripts created with Acrobat X or earlier. If you try to do something to a secured file using an Acrobat XI Action, it will simply skip the tasks that aren't allowed.
You can see what's happening when an Acrobat XI Action completes by clicking the small "Full Report" link at the end of the Action timeline when it finishes. In your case, you'll see "skipped" against every Encryption task.

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.

Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name. My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it. Why is that? I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

How do you scan in a PDF form to make it electronic and have the fields electronic?

how do you scan in a PDF form to make it electronic and have the fields electronic?

If you have Acrobat, you can create a PDF from a scan by selecting: File > Create > PDF from Scanner
This is for Acrobat 11. Previous version of Acrobat have something similar.
In order for Acrobat to be able to automatically add form fields, you will have to at least perform OCR on the PDF, but I would not expect good results. There's only so much it can do and starting from a scan is iffy. You will probably have to create the form fields yourself using the various form tools in form editing mode: Tools > Forms > Edit

Howard,
Click (select ) the folder, hit the return key and start typing...
Before you start typing, you can go to the beginning, or the end of the title without deleting the title by using the back/forward arrow keys.

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.
Regards.
