I have no tags for any of the PDF i have downloaded but im looking for the option to rename files in bulk like other programs for media files. Where can I learn to enter the regex and other things u mentioned?

Calibre is not a file renamer.
Calibre has a Template Language that uses the Metadata
within the Library (not the book) to create the name.
REGEX (this topic) is used to Import Books and populate the fields of a Library record. The Help page is here:

BTW I have used
Metamorphose2 for generic Bulk renaming.
Steep learning curve (REGEX is the reason) for some advanced modes of use.
