  • As such, Hibu will rename PDF files following manner:
    • [name-of-business]-[document-content-title].pdf
      • Note, don't reference the HTML page content title but rather, the file content, ie form, faq, price list, etc.)
      • All the characters should be lower case and in-place-of-a-space-we’ll-use-a-dash-rather-than-an-underscore.
  • Examples:
    • mikes-automotive-services-form.pdf
    • ferrantes-italian-bistro-dinner-menu.pdf
