This is to bulk import PDF
files into calibre
, which, notably, seems to recognize duplicates and even displays some titles. Is it parsing the PDF
file itself, or gleaning this from meta -data?
For this, you can use pdfinfo.exe
which you can find as part of the free Xpdf command line tools .
After you have downloaded and extracted the zip file, copy pdfinfo.exe
to some directory and make sure you unblock it, either by right-click or by using PowerShell
Unblock-File -Path 'Where\Ever\You\Have\Copied\It\To\pdfinfo.exe'
Using that, to get the original title as stored in the pdf, you do
$title = ((& 'D:\Test\pdfinfo.exe' 'D:\Test\test.pdf' |
Where-Object { $_ -match '^Title:' }) -split ':', 2)[-1].Trim()
