Come on does it really matter? I'm far from a computer expert. I goofed. Who are you the freaking Adobe Police?

Greetings, I'm not looking for special treatment (maybe I am) I'm a novice who first started using Adobe products when the business I opened became extremely successful over 20 years ago. However, I now have a terminal illness and have no income to purchase an Adobe product. Not something fancy just for personal use like Adobe DC for personal use. I know companies like Amazon and Walmart+ allow a disabled or terminally Ill person to submit a copy of Medicaid, Food Stamp card, or whatever and they give it to them for half price. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

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?.

Yeah, I do it all the time on Android. However, this is stock market papers. I need it on my Laptop! I rename Every Single PDF in my Android Version. But as I said earlier, I see you can go to the Desktop Version, Tap Save As & it'll save it to your Downloads I think with any name you want to give it. But it also creates another PDF Doc. Storage Room! Does anybody have Adobe Support Phone Number or an Email Address for them? Respectfully, Barry

First, you say you mean you don't know how to rename in Windows. I thought every Windows user.... but you can't rename a file you have open. It can't be done. So why the heck did you bother wasting your & everybody else's time?

Yes, I know that for sure. However, I just got something from a stockbroker (today) & I 1st opened it up straight from the link in Gmail & then tried in Adobe Desktop. I NEED to rename this on my PC because I will have to refer to it several times before I am done with a six-month run with day trading. I will not remember it with its current weirdo name! I know I can click on Save As to type in my choice but believe that creates a second. PDF. Do I have any options? Respectfully, Barry

Greetings, I also got ripped off myself today. I was supposed to get 14 days Free Trial of Adobe Acrobat DC however after the ever so popular, download & install it says 7 (SEVEN) Days Free Trial. Why, & why should we all keep using Adobe?

Greetings, I'm not sure so better safe than sorry. Sometimes I Download Credit Card Statements (and the like) on my Windows Laptop, other times when using my Android Phone. Do they both ways automatically upload to the same exact Cloud or after uploading to Adobe's Cloud do I have to somehow Sync the two (PC & Phone)? Thanks, Barry

Greetings, With all the .pdf files being Synced or Backed Up to the Adobe Cloud & Photos & everything else being Backed Up (or synced to the Google Cloud) why bother with Dropbox? Really, I'm not trying to pick an argument, I just don't bother wasting my time. You know? Barry

Greatings all. Anybody know 1) Andoid phone or Tablet is free to use Reader, correct? 2) Cloud will just automatically just kick in when I save a .pdf file to Cloud, correct? 3) I have creative cloud on my PC & if I remember correctly, saving a .pdf file to reggular Cloud is just fine, right? Respectfully, Barry

Sir, Do you know how I can Re-Name my .pdf file using either Adobe Reader Touch or Adobe Reader DC in Windows 10? I used to always use a dropdown menu before when I was using an Android Tablet my loving sister gifted me brand new when my Windows Desktop (s) kicked the bucket. Now that I got rid of the Tablet & purchased an HP Laptop pre=installed with Windows 10, I don't know if it's a different something with Windows or if I just forgot how to. Respectfully, Barry

Dear Test_Screen_Name, Again you stated, "Just rename files in the usual way." Well MVP, what is the "usual way." Can you please answer that question for me? I've been waiting for Days for a promising answer! See, like I said, I used to open the .pdf file in one or any the Adobe PDF file converters e.g. I didn't have a PC (Windows version) for years due to a terminal illness (which is still terminal unless I get lucky and receive a Transplant) so when my Desktop from my home up and died before I could purchase another one my sister gave me an Android Tablet so for 3 years I used it & whatever Adobe product it was for viewing .PDFs via Android format & after I downloaded a .pdf file, to help me remember what it was [from a Drop Down or Pull Down] menu there was a list of about 10 to 15 things you could do & one of them was RENAME FILE, quote-unquote. So you see if that's not the Usual Way then please share! Respectfully, Barry

But I don't understand. When you say "just rename files in the usual way". What is the usual way? Are you talking about renaming a .pdf file while open in the Adobe program? B

That's all I've ever had over 20 years is the free versions. I was always able to (before) Re-Name a .pdf file right in the Adobe program. I would click on a .pdf file and it would say Open With: in a dropdown list & I would choose Open with Adobe PDF Reader & after I looked over the file, I would RENAME it so I could remember one .pdf file from the other.

Not on my PC but right in Adobe. You would open a .pdf file then when it opened INSIDE the ADOBE Product, there would be a dropdown list with like 2o different things. All the way down to close or exit file & a few before the bottom of list it would say: RENAME. You could pick that & change the original name of the file to anything you wanted to like something you would remember & understand. B -- ABACUS AIRPORT & LIMO SERVICE You can "count" on us!

I was asking how to rename a .pdf file. So, if you open a file called 008vvsrpinngpomg you used to click or pick RENAME from a list and Re-name the fike "8 Foot Ping Pong Table Specs" if you wanted to. Nothing on those pages listed renaming. B -- ABACUS AIRPORT & LIMO SERVICE You can "count" on us!

I always for years (since I can remember) rename a .pdf file in the Adobe version I was using, (which I can't remember which & how many versions. However, on my HP Windows 10 Laptop, I'm using Adobe Reader Touch & above that is Acrobat Reader DC. Then in my toolbar, next to the address bar on Google Chrome I have an Extension called just Acrobat Reader I believe (which is 100% totally useless) just like anything I try to use to open a file I have saved in 15 GB (free version) of Google Drive. But that's another story for another forum or Google if they would allow you to contact them. The question I'm here about and the problem also is: I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to open all my .pdf files. Even though it's not in my "Start List" in Windows it says Open with... the above, every time I go to open a newly downloaded PDF or any .pdf file. My problem is: I used to be able to RENAME any & all .pdf files that I opened and now I can't find the option to "Re-Name" a file in any Adobe product. Does anybody know what I'm missing or why we can't rename files anymore? Respectfully, Barry

I don't know if it's Adobe or users themselves replying to my question but I received about 10 replies via email today and NONE of them have come close to the subject I posted! Barry
