  • pboy

    a small .pdf management tool with a command-line UI

    • Not a script, but pboy is a TUI program that tries to do exactly that. However I'm afraid it lacks options for proper renaming of academic PDFs, it doesn't find authors or year for instance, which I usually put in my PDF filenames.
