I am having the same problem, and didnt have this issue before until today. Actually, it is all my ebooks, cant get any metadata. |
@Pushka Can't get any metadata is very different from can't modify PDF metadata. Please detail your problem exactly. If your problem is a significantly different problem from what has been described here you might think about starting a new thread.
@joselitux I tested my ability to change the Title and Author on a PDF file and when I sent it to my, PRS-505, device and the metadata was updated as expected.
Assuming that your PDF metadata plugins are enabled then it would seem you are not doing one of the three things that has a chance of getting the PDF metadata updated.
1. Metadata is updated when you use the
Send to Device feature. The file sent to the device is updated not the file in the library.
2. Metadata is updated when you use the
Save to Disk feature. Again The file saved to the disk is updated not the file in the library.
3. Metadata is updated when you
convert a file. When a file is converted the newly converted file in the Calibre library will have had the metadata within it updated.
If you only update the metadata in the Calibre Library, then you use explorer to drag and drop the file to your device the metadata will not be updated or if you email it to yourself or your device the metadata will not be updated.
If your PDF metadata writer plugin is disabled you will never update metadata in PDFs.
Also keep in mind that sometimes PDF files won't update.
That's the limit of my knowledge in this area. If you can't update the metadata within any of the valid scenarios above you might want to reboot your machine or uninstall, reboot and reinstall Calibre.
Good Luck.
