Automatically rename files after extracting information from pdf files using Python

This video demonstrates how I automated the manual process of renaming files at my work place. We needed to rename the pdf files with information from the pdf document. I observed that it is boring and takes a long time to open each pdf file manually to get serial number of a laptop in order to rename the file using the serial number in the file name so that later on people in the organization could search it on the network drive. I wrote this python script to automate this process.

Thank you so much for this video but would something like this work with renaming blueprints to match another programs file name requirement. For instance, uploading blueprint pages onto software, they upload with no label and to measure and estimate it requires the files be named SECTION NAME, SECTION LETTER, PAGE NUMBER, (STEEL BEAMS FLOOR 1 S-101) all which is found in the corner of each page. usually, you upload about 50 to 500 pages and they all have to be renamed based on how the architect shares the blueprint files. Thank you again for being a resource.
