Hallo.
If found this:
exiftool -filename -createdate -T -w+! %d/out.txt -r DIR
and I can write the createdate from all my "pdf files" to out.txt
This is nice.
But my problem is that I will the createdate from my "pdf file" for the file date.
Can exiftool rename the file with the createdate?
How I can make it? Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.
Yes, ExifTool can rename any file using the values of any extracted tags.
See this page (https://exiftool.org/filename.html) for details.

Thank's Phil for your help. I have no found answer of my question under filename.html.
Please see the attachment. I look for rename the the pdf file.
Example:
test.pdf -> 25.05.2014 (date properties)
New:
test.pdf -> 27.08.2009
This is the Createdate from the pdf file by
exiftool -filename -createdate -T -w+! %d/out.txt -r DIR
What is the right command for rename the file date from createdate.
Sorry, I thought you wanted to change the FileName.
But it seems you want to copy the CreateDate to FileModifyDate:
exiftool "-filemodifydate<createdate" test.pdf

I have tested the command with 5 or more pdf files but all pdfs get a error message...
Please see the attachments. Thanks.
Your exiftool installation is corrupt. Please follow these instructions (https://exiftool.org/install.html#Windows) to uninstall, then re-install exiftool. Often it is sufficient to just delete the temporary files and re-run exiftool.

Yes, that is it. A new "Install" and this help. No error messages.
Big thanks for your help and for this very nice toll! Very, very much.
Bye Andy
