Managing PDF files

[tytrate]

1. Can Calibre make batch changes to a PDF's meta-data?

2. Can Calibre rename a PDF file?

3. Can Calibre do a Full-text search? If not can you program Calibre to call Windows Search to perform the search?

4. If I use Calibre to open a file with Acrobat Pro and then add highlights / comments, will Calibre handle it? Is a new UUID computed when highlights are added and if so does Calibre update?

Yes, however, the Calibre metadata is not entered into the pdf until the pdf is exported from Calibre's library via Send to Device, Save to Disk, etc.

2. Can Calibre rename a PDF file?

Yes. Calibre holds the pdf under a name set by Calibre, but when you export it, you can give it any name.

3. Can Calibre do a Full-text search? If not can you program Calibre to call Windows Search to perform the search?

No.

4. If I use Calibre to open a file with Acrobat Pro and then add highlights / comments, will Calibre handle it?

Yes. (I'm assuming the highlights/comments are stored in the pdf).
