A-PDF Preview and Rename 4.4

Preview as many documents as you want to and change their names based on their content on the fly. The tool includes the capability to automatically rename files thanks to its optical character recognition technology and the ability to modify the metadata of the renamed PDF files.

The program's name summarizes exactly what it does – it allows you to have a quick preview of your PDF files, and rename them manually or in batches. This tool is capable of using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to "read" a selected portion of the document, and of renaming it based on that information. It can also help you use any field in the metadata information of a PDF document as the new name.

The program's user interface is quite clear and comfortable. However, the OCR-related options may be hard to understand and to get used to at first. It is basically composed of two panels – on the left panel you can add and select the source PDF files you want to rename, and on the right panel you can preview the selected PDF file and rename it. When you select a document, the program shows thumbnails of all its pages, so that you can browse them and choose the most appropriate new name for the document. You can type this name manually, but, as stated before, the OCR functionality allows you to select a portion of any page in your document and take the new name from it. More
