This does not work for me. Am I missing something?
I'm working with PDFs. Say I update the database for a book using lookup, getting the following information:
Title
Author
Author sort
Publisher
Tags
Series
ISBN
Date
Published
Comments
When I save the PDF to disk, only Title and Author seem to transfer to the new version of the PDF. At least that's all I see when I look at document information in the PDF (including the additional metadata window). So most information doesn't seem to be transferred, which to me is not acceptable.
I realize that the PDF doesn't have all the fields available in the Calibre database record, but some kind of field mapping should be done so that at the very least if I save a PDF to share with someone when they import it to their Calibre database, all the fields will show up just as in my database without having to go through the lookup process again.
Is that feasible? I do think it would be highly desirable.
