Q: How do I rename PDFs?

It depends upon the app that you are using for PDF documents. I use among others, Adobe Reader which includes the functionality to change the name. IBooks does not have that ability to change the name.

I use Goodreader which has an excellent file management system.

1. Tap Edit

2. Select file to rename

3. Tap icon on left of Trash Bin to rename

I use iBooks. To change the name of a PDF I sync with my computer then change the name there. In iTunes on my computer I select Books, then select the PDF that I want to change, then select get info. I can change the name and the author. After I'm done I sync again and the changed name will appear on my iPad.

It definitely a work around but that's how I do it.

Email PDF files from iBook and Open in Adobe Reader.

Yes that works but what a waste of energy to do a simple task.  A year ago I was able to do this in itunes but the new version does not allow it to happen.  No thanks Apple!

I Just managed to rename a PDF within the latest version of iBooks. Here is what I did:

1. Select the pdf to rename.

2. Double tap on the existing pdf name.

3. Simply rename the pdf from there.

Hope this works for other people.
