File Rename - Swap around char '.'

Postby felyxcapital » Mon Feb 22, 2016 10:52 pm

I'm new, and have searched the forum and tried different inputs but can't seem to get the right solution.

Current filename format:
Lastname.Firstname.PDF

Desired format:
Firstname Lastname.PDF

Please help if you can, thank you!

Yes, all of them are example:

Smith.John.pdf

Need to change all of them to:

John Smith.pdf
