rename pdf file in document library

Question

How would I use powershell to rename a pdf file in a document library? I've seen examples online that move files or rename while moving but not an example where the files are renamed in place (ie to keep them in the same document library)

Answer 1

• Open SharePoint Management Shell as Administrator.

• Copy this code , Edit it with your entries ($Web,$DocLib,$filename) , Paste it in SharePoint Management Shell

$Web = Get-SPWeb "http://epm/workflow"
$DocLib = $Web.Lists["Doc"]          
$filename = "Qassas.pdf"
 foreach($ListItem in $DocLib.Items)
   {
     if($ListItem["Name"] -eq $filename) 
       {

             $ListItem.File.CheckOut()
             $ListItem["Name"] = "Your New Name"
             $ListItem["Title"] = "Your New Title"
             $ListItem.Update()
             $ListItem.File.CheckIn("File Name Updated")
       }
   }
