Recently had a discussion on this exact subject - don't know where it
went, but you might check the archives.

http://www.sanface.com/pdfindex.html
is a freeware perl utility to generate a PDF index - you can extract
title information.  I've found the title's of the microchip PDFs to be
useful (ie, PIC18FXX2 Data Sheet) so it should help.  It creates another
PDF file as the index file.  You could simply use this as is, or you
could modify the code to rename the file for you instead of outputting
more PDF.

Hopefully that helps!
