I have a project that builds a DLL. The normal PDB file is named "projectname".pdb.

Is there an easy way to include the file version from the DLL in the PDB file name?

Example: DLL file version is 4.1.0.5 and PDB file is "projectname"_4_1_0_5.pdb.

OT: Why do you need it?
Why not use Symstore (Symbol-Server from "Debugging Tools for Windows")?
It stores your PDBs in a (file-system) database and it will retrive the
correct pdb for the currently debugged dll/exe.
