@Stef_99,

Try this approach

Use assign activity to prepare the destination file name and path

SourcePath = "C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\TIV_xxxxxx.pdf"
NewFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(SourcePath) + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyyyy") + Path.GetExtension(SourcePath)
DestinationPath = "C:\Data\Input\" + NewFileName

Use move file activity and pass Soruce and Destination these two variables

++Made extention dynamic so it will work with any file extention.

@Stef_99,

That you can get with For Each File in Folder activity but remember the file name should be fixed or should have some logic to identify that it’s your desired file
