(2) On second thoughts, it seems to me that what you want, hotwheels 22, is to get the file name (minus file name extension) and insert it in the Title PDF metadata field. On page 843 it states clearly, "A document’s metadata may also be added or changed by users ", so that's that. (1) Just for the sake of curiosity I looked at the PDF 1.7 specification (freely available from the Adobe PDF Reference Archive). I'll keep it moving and thanks for the push. However, in the case of someone giving me a pdf, and where I have edited in in Acrobat Reader - I can't see why I shouldn't be able to edit a bad Title so that it shows up to match the File Name. Seems to me like a lot of folks have been posting that they have been having issues with this due to the various ways of printing to pdf.Īnyway - I suppose it is really possible that I simply /renamed/ the pdf prior to publishing - whereas the pages doc was not renamed before printing to pdf - which would be a good reason for there being a discrepancy. I mean, the document had a file name and there is some legacy information in here for an /old/ file name and Google docs is showing this old legacy information which really shouldn't be in here anyway. In any event, I am not sure I understand the "not meant to be edited" aspect of this.

Ideally I'd buy a Acrobat 3D version but I can't tell if this is available for the mac or only on windows which would be a bummer.

I can't tell whether your url requires a purchase to use at which point I sort of would just want to end up buying Acrobat and get it over with so I get full functionality.

Hopefully if someone has a good answer on doing this with mac software they will drop in.
#Batch change pdf attributes free
Perhaps there is another free "workaround" version of Acrobat that will do this? Terminal type commands seems like it is also more than I want to bite off on this one and it does seem to me like mac ought to have an easier was to edit this kind of data, which would be really great of course. Do you happen to know if the important info is prepended by some term such as "" or some such that I can get in and edit if I know I just have to change "bob" to "jim"?

I took a look in TextWrangler but the code in here looks quite daunting. I want the "Title" to be the same as the File name since two different things here are very confusing, even for me.Īpparently i can edit this in the full acrobat version but I'd like to hold off on spending the 199 US dollars on this. So now there are two different names for this file showing up on Google. I then printed to pdf from pages and it became a file named "jim's doc.pdf". Originally the file was a Pages doc and it was named "bob's doc.pages" then it was renamed and then (I believe) it became a Pages doc named "jim's doc.pages". In this case the Title is not the same as the File name and is actually showing an earlier version before the Pages document was renamed. And the other one is ye olde Automator, which has a whole bunch of PDF-related actions, including Get PDF Metadata and Set PDF Metadata.Īpparently when you look at this in Adobe Acrobat reader you can see that there is a "File name" and a "Title". PDFInfo is free and works on a single file or a folder of files. One can easily find them in the usual way (Google, MacUpdate, etc). (3) There is a plethora of tools with PDF metadata editing capabilities out there.
If one thinks one really knows the PDF format (which is what I suppose kurt188 meant by "syntax"), and one really wants to do things the hard way, then one should use a hex editor. That's because (by contrast with, for instance, HTML) PDF is not "text under the hood". (2) Using BBEdit or another text editor to edit PDF metadata is a seriously bad idea. The stress is on "supposed" - and that's all this forum's terms of use allow me to say.) (The exception is the password-protected PDF, which is supposed not to be editable. Whether it is also the correct usage is a different matter.) Maybe it wasn't intended to be editable originally, I don't know but the point is moot anyway, as Adobe, originator of PDF, has been for some time providing this capability with Adobe Acrobat (not the free Acrobat Reader, though).
(I use "PDF metadata" in the same sense as hotwheels 22, which is the common usage. (1) Of course PDF metadata is easily editable. I disagree with kurt188 in the strongest possible terms. I hate being disagreeable on such a day as this, but I have to say it.
