PDFs, metadata and conversion on a Mac

I'm currently using Calibre on my Mac to manage my book library and transfer it to my PRS-505.

I've just recently got a selection of PDF files which I want to use on it, but they have pretty screwy metadata ... if I just import them directly into calibre some end up with author and title swapped and some have complete garbage in them.

The files are all named as "<author> - <title>.pdf", so I am thinking the best solution would be to find a CLI PDF metadata editor so I can do do a batch re-tag on them, assuming there is any such thing on the Mac ... or can I force calibre to set metadata based on filename rather than content?

Once I've got this sorted, is it best to leave them all as PDFs, or should I convert them all to LRF?
