Hey @alltan

For me I am unable to Rename the Files.

Use the FullName Property inside Rename File(s) Action.

Hey @alltan

The screenshot that you have provided you have written "fullname" that is not a correct property.
Instead of this use "FullName"

Hope now it will work!

Hey @alltan
Are you trying to Change the pdf file name or other which is Currently Opened.

For me it is working.

What the Expression you have written inside new file name set a Variable and store that value and see what output it gives and if possible, please share.
Also try give a Hardcoded name and check it is working or not.

Hey @alltan

Manually give a New file Name that's why It is a Hardcoded value.

Hi @alltan !

Can you share the error details of that error you encountered. You just need to Double click it and it will pop up like this:

In this way, we can know what that error means. Please select "Copy details" and send it here.

Also please share what does TextList[35] and TextList[33] return.

Please also note that file names should not contain these invalid characters as I can see from your list that most of them have colon ':':

Incase if any of these invalid characters do occur, you can use Replace text action to replace those invalid characters to an empty string. Like this for reference:

Please do share more details. We will gladly assist in the issue.
