How to rename a file using ADF

Thulasi Arumugam 20

I have a blob container with parent folder and multiple sub folders and each sub folder having files. I would like to get the file names only (and not subfolder name) and rename the files names using ADF.

Parent folder -> subfolder->multiple subfolder-> file1.pdf
                 subfolder->multiple subfolder->multiple files
                 subfolder->multiple subfolder->multiple files

                       
I just need to rename the pdf files like file1_paper.pdf.

Any suggestions would me much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey,

Please follow the below blog:

To recursively iterate over the path and rather than calculating the file size, you can use a copy activity to copy the file with a new name and then delete the old file if need be
