In other words, I can easily go back to the first pages and seek, copy and paste ISBN manually, while your plugin apparently does not.
Could you please check the code and, if confirmed, fix this issue?
Thanks in Advance

RotAnal - there are known limitations with PDFs, did you read the doco in post #1 ==>>
[GUI Plugin] Extract ISBN

...For PDF formats, scans only the first 10 pages, then if ISBN not found, the last 5 pages in reverse order.
For other formats, scans files at the front, then a number of end files in reverse order before the remainder of the book....

I'm not sure, but if the PDF is composed of images with no underlying text then even though you can see the ISBN the PI may not, it would need OCR capabilities to do that and I suspect it doesn't have such.
