You need to do the heavy lifting, then submit the patch for review. Remember; Calibre runs on 3 OS

Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm just not comfortable with how to pull in a huge external library for reading pdfs just to get one more metadata item. If I could do more with it than just count toc entries, it might make it worth it. Unless there's something better than pdfinfo already embedded in calibre that I missed...

I'd consider patching the existing pdf metadata reader to get version number at least, except that would require adding a customization hook to it to pick the custom column, and I'm not sure how to do that with an existing standard module either.
