Try this:

$directory = Get-Item -Path 'D:\test\mypdf'

foreach( $file in $directory.GetFiles() ) {

    $newFileName = $file.Name -replace '^(.*_)t\d+(_.*)$', '$1tar$2'
    Move-Item -Path $file.FullName -Destination $newFileName -WhatIf | out-null
}

Compress-Archive -Path "$directory\*.*" -DestinationPath "$directory\archive.zip" -CompressionLevel Optimal -Force | out-null
