When you do a "Save to "Disk" you are also given the option of having the .opf file as well. This file will have ALL the metadata in it, and if the recipient has Calibre as well can be used to transfer it to their Calibre library

I see the following fields in the PDF file ("file properties"):
Title
Author
Subject
Keywords
And there there is a sectio for "Additional metadata":
Document title
Author
Author title
Description
Description writer
Keywords
plus many more, including "custom properties", of which you can create seemingly as many as you want.
So I do not understand why metadata couldn't be saved to the file, even if it requires some creative mapping.
My fear is that this lack of portability of metadata has me tied to Calibre, which for all I know could stop being developed at any time (or could start charging money, maybe even a lot of money), or a product that better serves my needs could come around.
I don't see why I seem to be the only one concerned about this.
