I'm using ISBN as a version number to trace my evolution in PDF or epub. But maybe there is a better solution.
By the way, what is the rule for Calibre for currently import pdf metadata ?
I notice that :
first word of pdf subjet + words in pdf keywords are used as calibre TAG. It is quite strange that first word of pdf subject is taken like that. Also I don't succeed to put several word in pdf "keyword" because there are seen as only one keyword. Even with "," or ";" or " "
ex :
toto, titi
toto; titi
etc... each time the calibre corresponding tag is "toto, titi" or "toto; titi"
[EDIT] My fault, it is my pdf editor (pdf x change viewer) that add " " before and after all keywords... don't know why.
is the official calibre metadata behavior when importing a pdf documented somewhere ?
thanks a lot for your help

Extract ISBN
The ISBN is not a discrete metadata property like Title, Author and Tags/Keywords/Subjects etc so its not easily obtained during the add process. The Extract ISBN PI searches the book contents, IIRC first few and last few pages, for something resembles an ISBN. And I think it will search more than format.
