Export metada from multiple files

Post by bayer_a »

Good morning,
I'm new on the forum, I've tried fo find the answer by searhing the forums but no success.
So, I'm searching for possibility to export pdf metadata (document title) from multiple files and save the list in format "file_name.pdf FILE_TITLE" or something like that.
Is there a standard tool that in the PDF-tools? If not, maybe someone may reccomend me how to do that?

Thank you in advance,
Andrej

Hello, bayer_a

I am sorry to say there is no way to extract this information from a multitude of documents and generate an output from that.

The closes we could offer is the ability to use 'macro" logic, to pull the document title, and select other metadata, into functions like "headers" or "watermarks" during application to that specific document itself. These macro options are available anywhere that this button appears near a text entry field:
