Change PDF file name on a Desktop with Adobe

Greetings,
I've asked this before and sort of knew the answer. I can change the name of a PDF file only on my mobile phone as of last year anyway it's impossible to change the file name of a PDF opened in any Adobe on the computer. Now that Adobe rolled out its AI version of Adobe I'm asking if can I somehow ask AI to change the name of my PDF file? You know what I mean it's frustrating to get a banking statement and after you download it it reads 56748811.pdf and you want to be able to find it fast if needed, so you rename it CapitalOne-State-03-15-2025. You know? Frustrating I have no idea why I can do that on my Android Phone however, not with a Windows computer?.

You can't use Acrobat to rename a file that you opened in it, no. You can save the under a new name and then delete the old version, or you could rename it in your OS's file manager application (Explorer on Windows, Finder on a Mac).
