How do you batch re-name pdfs in Acrobat X Pro?

If I have 5000 pdf files in a folder and I need to change the file names from Document A.pdf, Document B.pdf, Document C.pdf, Document D.pdf, etc. to Document A-1.pdf, Document B-1.pdf, Document C-1.pdf, Document D-1.pdf, etc and don't have time to go through each individual pdf file and click re-name, what is the easiest way to do this?

Thank you for any help.

You can use a batch sequence (aka Action). In the Output Options, you can choose a file prefix and/or suffix, though there are numerous utilities available, just google: batch rename files

In my opinion, open Action wizard and simply save them to PDF without adding any actions. And while saving them, add the suffix.
Please Note: It may change the property of Reader Extended files and similar.....

To do this:
Click File Menu-> Action Wizard-> Create new Action and do as shown in the screen shot below:
