I have a lot of layouts with PDF inserted.
Is there any way to replace the name of the layout with the hosted single name drawing (PDF) in?
That's possible with Python.
The following script will rename all Layouts in a given folder (change it before running obviously) to their first placed drawing.
Caveat: It is currently impossible to tell what kind of drawing is placed on a layout! So this will cover internal drawings just as well as external PDFs.
That's why it's needed to restrict this to a given folder. It's also undoable. So please beware.

# get the approppiate Folder:
subset_itemList = acu.FindInNavigatorItemTree(
layoutBookTree.rootItem, lambda node: node.name == subset_name

# The following gives not the subset as-is, but instead a list of
# discrete 'NavigatorItemArrayItem's (sic)...
for item in subset_itemList[0].children:
# is a Drawing placed?
if item.navigatorItem.children is not None:
acc.RenameNavigatorItem(
item.navigatorItem.navigatorItemId,
item.navigatorItem.children[0].navigatorItem.name,
)
