Meta info
Hi all,

I've been using Calibre to get books into my Sony. I noticed that when I update the meta information and upload the book to the device the new meta info isn't being reflected in the uploaded books. In the device the title, author etc. are still the old pre-updated data. If I upload the file again overwriting the old one then the new meta info is reflected. Is there some step I'm missing or is this normal?

Update - found the reason. Calibre meta info is internal only, the actual PDF's metadata doesn't change hence the reader seeing the 'old' metadata. To change the file's metadata you need an external application like adobe acrobat full version or BeCyPDFMetaEdit.
