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 -- I just child proofed my house.
