As a workaround I could simple rename all the PDF files with Krename and then reimprt them into Calibre. But if there is a way to do the procedure within Calibre I would prefer that.
I looked in Edit Metadata but I don't see anything that would help.
Thanks.

It's there
(on its own tab, but only if you have multiple titles selected)
Sort/filter on title so all the offending titles are together.
Select a few and tap "E"
switch tabs
Now you are ready to replace title
Work on setting your pattern until all the sample read correctly. Click OK to change.
Repeat the replace with another group of books (you have the replace term)
