Calibre & PDF covers & metadata

Folks, I've just started using calibre to manage my sideloaded books on my Kindle Paperwhite and noticed that for PDF books, the cover and metadata/summary info does not seem to get transferred onto the device. Is this as expected? Is there a way I can get these metadata onto my kindle?

The covers work just fine if I were to convert them to a .mobi file.

Cheers

You can use the "Polish books" option: see this page

thanks but according to the link, 'polishing' is not supported on PDF! Any other option?

"Note that polishing is only supported for books in AZW3 and EPUB formats."

sorry for that, missed the important point.

BTW: you should ask this question in the Calibre forum instead.
