My hard drive is packed with thousands of PDF files. They range in size from about one megabyte to a few hundred MBs.
My problem is being able to locate any particular file by name or subject, due to the vast number of files. The file names
are nonsensical, and i plan to rename each file whenever i get the time or ambition.
Does MS Access feature a capability of linking files to a table of file names? My dream is to look at the list and click on
a name, and that will open the file.

>listing filenames in a db
>listing filenames in a folder window
what's the difference?

How is that different from looking at it in a file manager?

a DB is better, with more capabilities.
>>52462852
it's not, OP is retarded
>>52462066
just write a python script that takes the title of each document and renames the filename with that title; if the files have a consistent layout it shouldn't be hard
read the file in, parse it into a list divided by \n and assuming the title is the first line, edit the file name to lines[0] - that should at least solve a few of them

can't he get better query times with a db compared to wangblows cockexplorer`
Op, use Apache Solr. It can injest, full text index, and search PDFs, millions if needed.
