There are four probable reasons why your PDF cannot be renamed 1) The file is still open with an application 2) the file is deleted or changed in another window 3) the file is being named too long or with characters that are not allowed 4) the file was made with a faulty application.
Open File Explorer by going to My Computer, or by pressing Windows Key + E on your keyboard. Find the file you want to rename, select it and select Rename on the ribbon (or press F2 on your keyboard). Type the new name you want the file to have and press Enter.
The PDF document is encrypted with password protection. You may be using a PDF reader that only allows you to preview files, not edit them. The PDF was created using an outdated or ineffective program that makes editing the file difficult. The editing software you are using is too complicated.
If a file is in use by an app, you will not be able to delete it. Try restarting your device. This can sometimes fix minor glitches and errors. Clear the cache and data for the Google Files app.
First, locate your PDF either in the finder or on your desktop. Then, right-click it. Select Rename and youll be able to remove or add text to the name of the file by typing on your keyboard. You can also single click on the file name on your desktop.
Sumatra PDF has the Rename function, but you can also rename the file in Windows File Explorer while the file is open in Sumatra PDF. Which you normally cannot do with an open file in Windows, Acrobat or otherwise.
Open the PDF document in docHub Pro: Select File Properties. Select the Description tab to view the metadata in the document, including the document information dictionary. Modify the Title field to add or change the documents Title entry.
Most likely, you or another user on the network have a file or directory open, so Windows has it locked. Windows will release the lock when the file/directory gets closed. When a file is locked, Windows will also lock the whole directory. So you tend to see this most often with drawer/folder renames.
