Thanks a lot. I will look info your title solution. Maybe without search and replace it will work as for ISBN:v1 were calibre is able to extract automatically v1 in a ISBN column. I will try.

Xmp proposal is also interesting I will have a look.

By the way if I posted here it is because I tried a lot of PDF import (without xmp) and I noticed strange behavior especially with tag and I was wondering how the import was done and if it was configurable or documented somewhere. For example tag separated by ';'are not recognized, first line of subject is also see as a tag, etc...

As calibre is able to detect 'line' in subject of a PDF, it could be awesome if first line is version, second line is publish date, other lines is real subject, etc... This way standard PDF metadata are used, editable everywhere and seen easily from windows...
