Metadata isn't being written to PDFs despite enabling it in the settings

Open 0rAX0 opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

I have a bunch of PDF books that don't have proper metadata embedded, and a few that have correct metadata but I want to update anyway. I have enabled the setting that allows (in theory) to write the metadata to files, but it's not happening.

How I am testing: 1- Import the book 2- Fetch the metadata and save 3- Check with a 3rd party tool (PDF Meta on macos) 4- File is unchanged

Aer PDFs not supported or am I missing an obvious detail?

You’re right, at the moment, metadata is only written to EPUB files. PDF metadata writing isn’t supported yet. That said, it’s a frequently requested feature, and I’ll be adding support for it in the next release. Thanks!
