Batch rename with custom names.

Question

hey, i don't know if i did post in the right section, i'm sorry for this. Also i'm sorry for my bad english too.

what i'm looking for: i have 1000 PDF files with random names and i have also a txt list with my custom names. All i want to do is to rename all my 1000PDF's random names with my custom names, how can i do that? Also how can i copy all 1000 PDF names to a txt file? don't want to lose the random names eighter, thank you

If the current filenames are random, then does it really matter which file receives a specific filename?

Or do you just want to rename all the files to something like:

My-New-Filename_00001.pdf

My-New-Filename_00002.pdf

...

My-New-Filename_0999.pdf

My-New-Filename_01000.pdf

You can use Bridge's Batch Rename tool.

Providing sample before/after filenames would help, as well as whether you do need a way to explicitly match before after names. If you can avoid using a spreadsheet that would be the simplest result
