Change Filename To Title

I've got around 4500 files that all need to be renamed to what's already been typed as the document title. Is there any way to achieve this with batch processing?

I do have Acrobat Pro, vague understanding of Actions however.


OK, I suggest you read this, then:

Adobe Acrobat Pro Action Wizard

Once you did, create a new Action and set it to execute this JavaScript code:

this.saveAs(this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, this.info.Title + ".pdf"));

Then run it on your files, and you're done!

You can use an Action in Acrobat Pro to save a copy of the files using their Title property, but not rename them.

That sounds like it would work. How would I go about that?
