I have restarted the iPad Pro and does not solve the problem.

I have not tried every single pdf file. But I have tried enough where the name does not change.

absolutely nothing happens after I fill in the box with the new pdf file name.

I do this as a few iOS upgrades ago the titles on about 9 of my pdf files became just a number which is not helpful to identify what the pdf file is about. Normally it would say for example HONDA GENERATOR .
