Transfering Metadata help

Newbie here.

I have many pdfs (mainly technical whitepapers), the names of the titles of which are sometimes far from meaningful. As I cannot edit the PDF to make the titles mean something to me, I though I could get a similar effect using Calibre.

1: I add all of the pdf files to the Cailbre Library on my PC (WinXP SP3)
2: I then deleted removed via Calibre all my pdf books (mistake I know)
3: Using Caliber, I painstakingly edit each book, making the title more meaingfull and adding tags allowing for automatic creation of collection.s on the sony
4: I then send using the books to device to my prs-505
5: After books are transferred I unplug reader from computer

The Problem:
The changes I made do not appear to be transferred along with the pdf books. So the titles revert back to the original meaningless titles. Tags seems to be transferred which so I get collecyions created.

Anyone know if I am doing something wrong or how to achieve meaningful titles without having to edit on the reader directly via Calibre.

Thanks
