Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way for Calibre to export downloaded metadata back into the metadata area of pdf files. Specifically, I'd like to use the <author> and <title> tags (downloaded into Calibre and re-inserted into the pdfs) to batch rename pdf files.

I know this sounds like a complicated approach, but I've got large numbers of pdf files with file names that only include ISBN numbers (good for importing into Calibre), or ISBN numbers and random other text.

Thanks,

J
