Bullseye!! Smilie
Code:
tcode-pdf.txt
test-pdf.php@testid=4125
test-pdf.php@testid=4143

If you look at those pdf files, you'll notice how the question-mark turned to a at sign (@), it must have happend during the download, for whatever the reason. THAT is the reason why awk could not find the required/expected files...

The tcode-pdf.txt file is almost perfect.
There are 98 records, one is defective/superfluous, fix it with this command:
Code:
sed -i '/AACE/d' tcode-pdf.txt

This command will turn the question-marks to at-signs:
Code:
sed -i 's/\?/@/' tcode-pdf.txt

Now, finally, it's time to try it again:
Code:
awk '{ A[$1]=$2; next} END { for (i in A) print "mv \x27"A[i]"\x27",i".pdf" }' tcode-pdf.txt | sh

Knock on wood! Smilie

NAME
pdfconcat - program to concatenate several PDF files. SYNOPSIS
pdfconcat -o outfile.pdf input1.pdf [inputN.pdf ...] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pdfconcat command. pdfconcat is a small and fast command-line utility written in ANSI C that can concatenate (merge) several PDF files into a long PDF docu- ment. External libraries are not required, only ANSI C functions are used. Several features of the output file are taken from the first input file only. For example, outlines (also known as hierarchical bookmarks) in subsequent input files are ignored. pdfconcat compresses its input a little bit by removing whitespace and unused file parts. This program has been tested on various huge PDFs downloaded from the Adobe web site, plus an 1200-pages long mathematics manual typeset by LaTeX, emitted by pdflatex, dvipdfm and `gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite', totalling 5981 pages in a single PDF file. OPTIONS
-o output.pdf Place output in file output.pdf SEE ALSO
