Top 3 methods to rename multiple PDF Files faster

welcome and thank you for choosing this channel   today we shall look at some methods that we  can use to help us rename our files more faster   the first method is where we name the file  manually taking a situation where we want   to rename the file using the information that  is contained in that document in this method   we start by enabling the preview pane so that we  can be able to see the information in our document   in our case let us assume we want to rename our  document as per the invoice number and this number then we start by pressing or clicking the file  name once and then we type in the invoice number   after we are done we simply press tab. tab helps  us to go directly to renaming the next file   we repeat the same process type in the invoice   number then press tab until you  are done renaming all the files method 2 involves using Excel template the  template looks something like this you have   the file name file extension new file name plus  extension and you have some three buttons here   if you press the first button it  will populate the file names from   the folder that you have specified let's  go ahead and press and choose our folder let's say this is our folder it's okay we have all  the file the file names of all the files that are   in that folder then in this case I may need to  have the file the the new file names somewhere   for example I may have scanned them in a certain  order that I'm aware that such file corresponds   to a certain file name or I may prefer to type  them in Excel rather than renaming the files   directly so in such a situation this method can  be so helpful and it will help you to rename your   files more faster so I have copied my file names  and pasted them in this column C then I go ahead   and press rename files and immediately there will  be renamed to the new file names as you can see   so that is as simple as that maybe the only  challenge is that you require to have the   file names ready by the time you start that  process in another method we are going to   use a different software by the name PDF element  from Wandershare and the software is so helpful in   extracting the information in the in the document  the information that we may require to rename our   document so it looks like this oh let us open  one of the files in the folder so that we can   use it to specify the location where we want to  extract the information so we open the form tab then we press data extraction  extract data from marked PDF next use your mouse to draw or to the specified  area yes so we draw the the area where we   want to extract our information and this is  our area we want to extract the invoice number   let's name this field as invoice number yes and save our setting as extract invoice number okay we may add now the other files we  just select all of them and add them so we have some 63 files and now we simply start, press start we want  our information to be saved as data extract CSV   from the ID we'll extract all the invoice numbers and we are done now these are invoice numbers  so for the file 001 its number is 266916 and   for all the other files we have  the corresponding invoice numbers now with this information we can be able to  rename our files using various methods in this   video up here I have described some methods that  you can use to rename your files once you obtain   this information, today we are simply going to  use the Excel template we have discussed earlier   but for some more methods you can watch this  video now in our file name we want to Simply copy we simply copy the file names as they are here then we copy the invoice numbers then as we had done earlier we shall rename our  file let me reopen the the folder with the files we want to copy the file path   we copy the address of that folder so that we  can paste it we can paste it here then we and uh we add the that mark then we simply press rename let me press rename and all our files have been renamed   now every file according to the  invoice number that was in the document so we can preview and see  [Music] our first file and it corresponds to the invoice  number thank you for watching
