Frequently Asked Questions

Technical answers regarding token expansion, file system sanitization, and browser-side batch packaging.

1Does renaming alter the internal contents of my PDF files?

No. The tool only renames the file objects and repackages them into a download stream. Internal page contents, form fields, vector graphics, and digital signatures remain completely unmodified.

2What naming tokens are supported in template mode?

You can use [original] for the existing file name, [counter] or [001] for zero-padded sequential numbers, [date] for current date stamps, and [pages] for the total page count.

3Can I replace specific words or remove spaces across all files?

Yes. Switch to Find and Replace mode to substitute specific terms, strip draft markers, or replace spaces with clean underscores or hyphens across the entire batch.

4How do I download the renamed files?

You can download all renamed PDFs packaged inside a single compressed ZIP archive with one click, or save individual files one by one with their new names.

5Are my files uploaded to a remote server?

No. All file indexing, pattern formatting, and ZIP archive generation happen locally in your web browser memory. Your files never leave your computer.
