when i download a PDF , how do 1) i rename it, 2) choose a directory for it, 3) make a shortcut

i am looking for the QUICKEST way to do this - ie FEWEST steps!
i use chrome on my phone (samsung s6)
when i click on the pdf, it automatically opens it (i choose to open in acrobat app)
ive tried with ES file explorer to rename it, and it crashed a few times, and then it didnt crash, but the file vanished! - note , i like to put very LONG file names - could that have caused a problem?
was it a problem to rename it while the file was open? if so, how do i close the file? (if i move to the adobe acrobat app and close it by pressing the back button on phone, i am not sure if that really closes it, sinceactually it still remains in the open apps list)

You should be able to change the name from the ES app. Go into the app, go to your internal memory, go to downloads and you'll see the file there. Long press on the file and rename

please read the OP

Any file manager installed can handle this.
Maybe you're renaming the file too long of a name.

if it is open in acrobat and i try rename it, then what happens?

 

[Dannydet]

It saves it under the new name.
Some PDFs can't be renamed or edited if security settings were used to create it.
Your best bet is to use a file manager, long press on the file and choose rename.

If it's open in acrobat, that shouldn't be a problem. But, if you want to close it to be sure, you can open the recent apps tab and swipe it away

i wonder if anyone has a better solution to my issues from the OP, as i still dont have a nice user experience here at all! having to much around using some file explorer to try find the file , when if there was just a save as button when i downloaded the pdf in the 1st place, that would have been the best!

Also, i now have a similar problem for docs i save on the acrobat cloud - how to bloody rename these things is driving me crazy!

You cannot download a pdf file and magically have a save as option.
If you open the file, you can choose export, then save as...
There's a ton of office apps that handle the options you require.
Go to the play store and check some out is my recommendation.
