== Function to remove filename extensions ==
Place
<pre>
# rm filename extension
function rmext() {
find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f | grep $1 |\
sed 's/$.*$\..*/\1/' | xargs -I {} mv {}.$1 {};
}
</pre>
in ~/.bash_aliases or ~/.bashrc then
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>
Usage
<pre>
$ rmext <extension>
</pre>
Example
<pre>
$ ls -1
first.file.test
second.file.test
important.file
</pre>
<pre>
$ rmext test
$ ls -1
first.file
second.file
important.file
</pre>

What about using the ''rename'' command?
<pre>
$ ls
first.file.test important.file second.file.test
$ rename ".test" "" *.test
$ ls
first.file important.file second.file
</pre>
(I'll note that different implementations of rename exist and the usage varies accordingly: check the manpage!)

== xpdf ==
<pre>
# fit width and set geometry
alias xpdf="xpdf -z width -geometry 1000x1000"
</pre>
