Feature Request - Give PDF Pages Specific Names When Importing

  • 1.  Feature Request - Give PDF Pages Specific Names When Importing

    Posted 02-24-2020 14:34

    I'm currently working on a earthwork model for a subdivision that has over 20 pdf pages with many pdf pages being imported multiple times for different intersection grading plans.  It would be nice to be able to name each pdf page as I import them so they show up in my layer manager in a more organized fashion.  Just something simple like specifying importing page 1 then name what that page represents (i.e. Main-2nd), or importing pages 1 through 6 and naming them all street CL 1, street CL 2, etc...

     

    Right now I have to guess to find the right georeferenced image that I'm looking for as everything is named for the pdf file name.

    Just change the Name in the properties of the PDF?

    I've done this before but it took too long as I can only do it one at a time.  If you know of a way to select and rename more than one pdf at a time, please let me know.

    Just shift click them in Project Explorer then rename in properties

    That worked perfect.  Never thought of  using the project explorer to select them.  Thank you both so much!
