Although I guess it will depend if the pdf stores the text as text rather than picture

I think that might be too advanced for me, altering the file names after they’ve been saved as file 1, file 2, etc looks like it might be the way to go.

The Powershell link that @marckee posted looks promising, but unless I’m missing it then it doesn’t seem to show how to name files using a list I’ve already created in excel (or similar).

This looks like it might be useful: https://benholland.me/tutorials/2011/11/11/rename-multiple-files-using-excel-in-windows.html

Incredible, this works. What a rollercoaster of a thread, this really has lived up to its name. Thanks all!

Good work. This is the sort of method I’ve used in the past. Surprisingly good isn’t it?

Dir /b > thing.txt

Is a goto for a lot of stuff I have to do.

Yeah. Slightly daunting using the windows command prompt thing (feels like I’m in the matrix), but really handy cos it’s saved me a ton of work being able to rename files like that.
