Question about creating a PDF library in Calibre

I currently have use Calibre to manage my ePubs. I also have a library of 700 PDFs, that I currently organize out of Calibre by putting them in a folders hierarchy on the disk.

I would like to bring them into Calibre, but I dread the thought of adding titles and authors to 700 files. Ideally I would also like to tag them based on the folder, but that is much less onerous, since its only about 20 different folders.

Is there something built into Calibre that will parse PDFs for metadata, or perhaps some sort of plugin? Is there some other way to do this that I am not thinking of?

Thanks.
