    You cannot change tha filename is the file is open by a program. You have to close the file form Acrobat Reader before try to rename it.

      Posso scriverti in italiano (poiché ti chiami Francesco Della Peruta?

      Il file non è aperto in Acrobat Reader ma nella "preview" del Explorer.

      E in questa situazione l'explorer non permette il cambiamento di nomi.

      Tu come fai se vuoi cambiare il nome di un PDF-File?

       

      Grazie per una tua risposta,

      Hey there!

       

      In that case you need to save the file locally on your system first. Changing file name while viewing pdf on web both at a time would not be possible.
