A better method would be to show the sizes in a Windows Explorer column, as discussed in this forum thread: Displaying PDF Page Size in Windows Explorer.

But, if you really want to go with the file rename method, you may use the rename tool, with the help of this script (also attached bellow).
Code: [Select]
function PageSize() {
    var Size = '';
    var Page = BatchFile.Pages(0);
    if (Page) Size = Page.Width.toFixed() + 'x' + Page.Height.toFixed() + ' mm';
    BatchFile.close();
    return Size;
}

Select all the files you want to rename and start the rename tool. Click the tool rename formula field right arrow and, from the menu that will show up, open the scripts editor, menu item "Scripts>Manage Scripts...". From this script editor main menu, import the bellow attached script (after unzipped) and close the editor (saving the changes).
You can now type [F]_[PageSize] in the tool rename formula field, to achieve the file name schema you are requesting.

Thank you for your prompt answer!
Apparently it works, but when I try to rename the file, I get this error: Unable to rename file - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
..and..can i get the "trim" page size format of pdf ?

Thanks and a good day!

My bad. I've update the above script to fix the issue.

Do you mean the size of the PDF page trimbox, that reverts to the cropbox, or mediabox, if that box property is not defined?

It's working here, with the 3.3 version and Windows 10.
Did you deleted the the old one, from the list of scripts, before importing the updated script? If not, it's still using the old one, and the imported script ended named PageSize1.

Check if this one works:
Code: [Select]
function PageTrimSize() {
    var Size = '';
    var Page = BatchFile.Pages(0);
    if (Page) {
        var box = Page.TrimBox ? Page.TrimBox : Page.CropBox ? Page.CropBox : Page.MediaBox;
        if (Page.Rotation == 90 || Page.Rotation == 270) {
            Size = GetDist_mm(box.top, box.bottom).toFixed() + 'x' + GetDist_mm(box.left, box.right).toFixed() + ' mm';
        } else {
            Size = GetDist_mm(box.left, box.right).toFixed() + 'x' + GetDist_mm(box.top, box.bottom).toFixed() + ' mm';
        }
    }
    BatchFile.close();
    return Size;
}

function GetDist_mm(x1, x2) {
    return Math.abs(x1 - x2) * 25.4 / 72
}

Type [F]_[PageTrimSize] in the tool rename formula field, to use this new script.
