Unhappy Fixing metadata is not working

I have a collection of pdf's that when I imported into Sony's software didn't have the correct metadata. So I downloaded calibre and went through them one by one painstakingly using ISBN numbers to get it all correct. So Calibre looks like this at the moment:

Calibre screen:


Folder structure:


Sony reader after import file/folder:



Anyone help please? It's well disappointing.

Your calibre settings are wrong... how are you placing metadata... selected prefs to save internally? And there are many others... you need to look through your calibre preferences, it is a very powerful and useful piece of software but it does need setting up to do what you require. Much more detaied info and help from the calibre sub-forum here at MobileRead...

If you just want to change the meta data on a PDF try using BeCyPDFMetaEdit instead. It is freeware and it does a great job of changing the meta data, but that is all it does. Calibre is overkill for this job, unless you intend to convert the PDF to ePub.
