This is due to PDF files having very poor support for metadata. If the original PDF file does not have the author/title information (which many do not) it is not possible to extract them.
If you go to the Device view, you can edit the Title and Author fields manually. Once you do that, they will be remembered for as long as you have those books installed in GoodReader.
Thanks for the PayPal donation, I appreciate it.
