Using Ruby, Rename PDF with text from input PDF file
I have this script running pretty well thanks to the great support on this site. It currently opens a PDF, searches for a text string, and then saves the PDF with the string as the file name.
For a different project I need to check the string matches the original filename, so my thoughts are to read the string and then append it to the original filename like this: Originalname_Foundstring.pdf - then I can take over and compare the first and second parts of the filename.
This script searches for a string beginning "1000…." then saves the file with a new name based on the string.
How can I grab the input filename and then append the string like this: Originalname_Foundstring.pdf?
(I am only a beginner in Applescript and even more clueless in Ruby script).

default location (path to desktop) with multiple selections allowed
set my aa's beginning to choose folder with prompt ("Choose Destination Folder.") ¬

set args to ""
repeat with a in my aa
set args to args & a's POSIX path's quoted form & space
