Where does this name come from? Could it somewhere be set to get it shown and synced with the original file name as saved in the CC folder?
Those names (probably a title) are generated by calibre because it fails to match the document (PDF) to anything in the calibre library. The way to fix it is to tell calibre which PDF in calibre's library is the correct match, which you do in calibre's device view by right clicking on a pdf and choosing the "match" option. The FAQ I have books on my device that don’t show up in CC. How do I fix this? has more information.

If the document is not in calibre's library then the weird name stays, and the metadata will almost certainly not be correct.
