Pocketbook 630 PDF metadata

Gaibinus · 07-29-2016, 05:41 PM

Hi guys, I have got Pocketbook Sense 630. I uploaded some PDF books on it using calibre of course. I have correctly set metadata like title and author. But when I look at my library in ebook reader. All the books are showing "unknown author". I see author only in one book but with EPUB format. Please help...

@Gaibinus - is it possible the PDFs are write protected?

You could try the Embed Metadata feature on the PDFs - you'll probably need to add it to a toolbar via Preferences->Toolbars. This will change the PDF in library - so you might want to use a test library or book.

Thanks your your reply. I tried to set the metadata using programe "Pdf Metadata Editor". But It did not help. Look, I think that it is set correctly: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4o...ew?usp=sharing Can be the problem in "Device configuration" options? Which should be checked?

Embed Metadata works on that PDF to an extent (select book in book list, press Ctrl/E, select PDF, click OK). I use Tracker Software's PDF xChange viewer - here's what I see there.

I can't answer your Device configuration query.

Presumably your PocketBook is not able to read the metadata from the PDF file. You should open a bug report with the pocketbook people with a link to the pdf.
