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.
If the title /author is part of the filename, just change the Add Books setting for the duration.

If the folder structure is the metadata, then you will need to use something like the Metmorphose (sp?) to rename the file first
