PDF Renamer EN

PDF Renamer Extension is a user-friendly browser add-on designed to automate and optimize the way you save PDF files from the web, particularly for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome users. This extension empowers you to create custom renaming profiles that automatically rename downloaded PDFs according to your tailored patterns, eliminating the tedious task of manual renaming and helping keep your files organized and easy to identify. Whether you handle invoices, academic papers, reports, backups, or any other PDF documents, PDF Renamer Extension enhances productivity by providing a smart, seamless method to name and save your files consistently.

Once installed, the extension integrates directly into your browser’s context menu, allowing you to rename and save PDFs by simply right-clicking on PDF links or pages. You can create unlimited renaming profiles with customizable naming conventions that include dynamic variables such as the original file name (`{original}`), current date (`{date}`), time (`{time}`), and Unix timestamp (`{timestamp}`). For example, an invoice can be saved as `Invoice_01-12-2025_document.pdf`, or a report as `Report_01-12-2025_15h30m45s.pdf`, quickly reflecting the exact naming style suited for your workflow.

The extension’s settings page offers a modern, intuitive interface to create, modify, import, export, and manage your profiles efficiently. Exporting and importing profiles as CSV files lets you back up your configurations or share them across multiple devices with ease. The solution also supports local PDF files (`file:///` URLs), sanitizes invalid file names automatically to maintain compatibility, and works smoothly alongside popular PDF viewers like Adobe Acrobat Reader. Browser notifications keep you informed about download progress or errors, ensuring you never miss important events.

Internationalization support guarantees the extension is accessible and comfortable to use regardless of your locale, while all data is stored locally in your browser for full privacy and no external data transmission. You benefit from using the latest web extension technologies and APIs, including those for downloads, context menus, storage, scripting, active tabs, and notifications—resulting in a secure, fast, and reliable user experience.

Whether you're a student, researcher, business professional, or anyone managing multiple PDFs daily, PDF Renamer Extension is an essential tool for automating PDF organization, speeding up your workflow, and maintaining systematic file naming conventions effortlessly.
