​The above is why I love *IX symlinks. What would be _really_ nice, IMO,
would be if your PDF generation process placed the ​actual document number
& title in the PDF information title section of the pdf file. So that I
could get it out of the "pdfinfo" program. It would make generation of the
symlinks simple. Something like:

for i in *.pdf ; do pdfinfo "${i}" | ln -s "${i}" "$(awk '/^Title: / {print
substr($0,17);} | sed -r 's/ *.*? *//')" ; done

But the kids still manage to get in.
