Changing file names / Book titles and authors
Hi! I'm a first time poster - I'm sorry if this isn't the correct forum. I've had my Sony prs-950 for about a month now and I absolutely love it. There are just a few little bugs that drive me crazy - the most irritating of all are the file names of all my e-books.
For the most part, my e-books were not purchased through the Sony E-reader store. Most of them are PDF's from work and other files. For some reason, the titles are all messed or missing completely - is there a way to rename files on the e-reader itself? How about on my computer before uploading the files? Because I have so many documents on my e-reader without any titles, it takes me a very long time to find the actual document I'm looking for. Thanks for your help! |

Hi,
and welcome to MR. Regarding the PDF-Files: Sony extracts the META-Info of (every e-boook) file and uses this for title and author. AFAIK there is no way to do anything against this directly on the reader. So you have to "pre-process" the files on your PC. Even if there are some free programs to change PDF-Meta-info like here I figured out for myself that most of them are messing up the resulting files, so I stick with Acrobat for this task. Just checked with calibre: It's doing well. HTH Mark |

I've been using BeCyPDFMetaEdit without any adverse effects to the rest of the PDF. You need to use it before transferring the PDF to your reader. It is freeware.
