Question

I have many PDF files to be managed, they are prefixed different month, for example "Jan-", "Feb-", "Mar-" and so on. How can I put same prefixed PDF files to the same folder? And those folders are named with the prefixes could be better.

Solution

Very easy to use as below shows:

  1. Add PDF Documents: select "File->Add Folder" to add all files in your folder to the list;
  2. Click "Advanced" in "Rename Method" panel, and input script as below:
    var
    p:integer;
    Begin
    p:=pos('-',filename);
    newFilename:='C:\myfolder\'+copy(filename,1,p-1)+'\'+filename;
    End.
  3. Click "Preview" icon, you can see the renamed results with new folder added, just like below image shows:
