Editing multiple file names in one go

Hi there,

I have a folder full of pdf's and I've run a compression on the to reduce the size, the output of the compress places a '-o' in the name of the file.

Before 12345.pdf
After 12345-o.pdf

Now I've got around 50000 files that I need to change back to the previous name, is there a script that can be used to do this?

Any help is much appriciated.

Regards
Kees
