Hi,
When I create a multipage PDF, nconvert writes the "Title" metadata as the filename. Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks.

Re: PDF Metadata
The following code options should work:Tsficl wrote:When I create a multipage PDF, nconvert writes the "Title" metadata as the filename. Is there a way to stop this?
Code: Select all
-o filename : Output filename
Use # to specify position of numeric enumerator
Use % to specify source filename
Use $ to specify full source pathname
Use $$ to specify source folder name
Note that if you run code in a batch file, some characters must be doubled to "escape" them, I'm not sure from memory whether it $ or % or both...
Re: PDF Metadata
I think my question was misunderstood. I was referring to the actual metadata in the PDF file. Say nconvert named the file "0.pdf", then 0.pdf will be the value in the "Title" field in Acrobat. The author, keyword etc fields remain blank. Is there a way to add/not add metadata to a PDF file created by nconvert?

I'm fairly sure NConvert has no provision for adding metadata to PDF files, unless you can see something I've missed.
There are, however, other utilities including some freeware utilities I believe that can do that, although I can't immediately suggest any myself.
Best to Google, or possibly XnTriq will come up with some suggestions late in the day or overnight!
