Note: I’m a beginner to Powershell and a bit more familiar with Bash (though still a beginner for that too).

*I have multiple PDF files and I want to rename each file based on a list of names found in an Excel/CSV (could be a text file if easier) file.

*The list begins at the A2 cell and the A1 cell has the header ‘name’.

*The files are in sequential order and match the order of the list of names.

Thanks for your help!

    Just use Copy-Item instead of Rename-Item if you want multiple identical files with different names

        Then the snippet won’t work because it only ever renames/copies the file '_2023 Summary Page.docx'. What are the actual names of the files you want to rename?
