How I do it on Linux is to use the "pdfinfo" program. Example:
[tsh009@it-johnmckown-linux Documents]$ pdfinfo dz9zr010.pdf
Title: z/Architecture Principles of Operation
Subject: z/Architecture
Keywords:
Author: IBM Corporation
Creator: FrameMaker 10.0.2
Producer: Acrobat Distiller 10.1.13 (Windows)
CreationDate: Thu Feb 19 17:32:41 2015 CST
ModDate: Thu Feb 19 17:32:41 2015 CST
Tagged: no
UserProperties: no

Encrypted: no
Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter)

So
for i in *.pdf;do ln -s "${i}" $(pdfinfo "${i}" | awk '$1=="Title:" {print
$0;}' | sed -r 's/^Title: *//;s|/||g;s/ +/_/g;').pdf;done
