Hi,
i would like to get some help in adding pdf books in Calibre library. I have plenty of PDF books from various sources ( downloaded from internet , serbo cratian language , this is not important, and creators of these books used who knows what to create them. A lot of thanks to them. Mostly i converting them to epub format to read them at my reader Kobo. ) I want to send them to my friend , not very educated in using computer , on USB flash drive with portable Calibre. I wanted also to put them in calibre library.A book will be automatically opened by Adobe reader at his laptop.
Usually when I enter those books in my Calibre library i would edit metadata , and most of time I have to change title an author data ( most of time those data are wrong, author is mostly name of somebody who created the file and there is no title data. I know that in Calibre you can use an option not to pick up title and author from meta data but from a file name. But in this case some useful metadata are lost , if those data exists , as a book cover and some comment and other info about a book.
I am looking for some way that I can change metadata in a pdf book , only author and title, and keep others . When I done this I would add those books on bulk in the calibre library. Now I am using the program BeCyPDFMetaEdit to edit those metadata on one by one book way but I have a cca 3 thousands of those books. I am sure that should be other way to do that in bulk. I am not good in programing bu I could follow some instructions or maybe there are some program that can do that.
Any help appreciated .
