 * I reseted the plugin because it stopped working a while ago, started to work 
   again, Synced most of the thing and now I realized that almost every attached
   PDF links stopped working, because the plugin changed every name with a SPACE
   in it´s files name.
 * Like “Plan 2018.pdf” to “Plan-2018.pdf”
 * How can I disable this? Can I undo it? I don´t want this function, because it
   messes the whole system up and I am not the only user on the website

 * This is actually done by WordPress since it may not be possible to access a file
   on the internet containing a space in its file name without first encoding. To
   access the file, it would be necessary to encode like so: Plan%202018.pdf.

 * yes I know that, but it was all OK, everything worked, but when you Sync, thumbnails
   will be generated from the PDFs and it change the names of all the files. Any
   idea how to prevent this?
 * Love the plugin, but with this I cannot do a sync

 * I would not know how to circumvent this process which is build into WordPress.
