I also have a problem with calibre and metadata in pdfs.

Actually, for me, in the few pdfs that I tried, the save to disk works, the metadata seems to be correctly added. The problem comes when I download books via the content server to my android Galaxy Nexus via either Mantano or Aldiko, the metadata doesn't come with it. I checked the downloaded pdf file and sure enough, the title and author fields are blank.

Is it possible for the content server to add the proper metadata before sending the file?
Also, as a side question, is it possible for applications such Mantano to download the .opf file as well in order to get all the metadata? (This would be awesome). If it's possible, I'll go start begging them to add that feature.
