Hi
I would be grateful if anyone can help me with a batch renaming issue;
I create 50+ page PDF files with individual pages intended for each person, so what I need to do ideally is create individual pdf files as follows;
source > feedback.pdf and filenames.csv
destination>
john-smith-feedback.pdf
jane-smith-feedback.pdf
billy-whizz-feedback.pdf
etc ..
I can easily create a CSV file of filenames I need, I can easily split the source PDF into individual pages using Acrobat Pro - all I need now is a fast way to rename the files, ideally without faffing about with full POSIX file path lists?
I have used renamed and a better finder rename before but anyone recommend an up to date tool for OSX 10.8.4 and/or Mountain Lion?
I have to do this 5+ times over the course of a year - it get tedious ! I am a little comfortable with command line, never really used automator with any success but open to ideas
thanks for any advice - gratefully received
cheers
Dave
