I try to import IEEE Journal files (pdf) like ‘yyyynnpppp.pdf’ (year, issue number, page).
EF’s Info Inspector shows their info like
[title] : title of Journal
[from] : authors of Journal
for ONE group of files, however, shows like
[title] : yyyynnpp (file name itself)
[from] : empty
for another group of files.
I guess this difference comes from different pdf format somehow. And so, if I know about what kind of way EF extracts such info from pdf file, I can import them (9700 files : 7 GB) with correct info via appropriate Script.
Please suggest any information or hint about this.
Well, EagleFiler will extract the title and author automatically and make them available in the user interface as well as via AppleScript. If you want to directly get at the metadata in the PDF file, you could perhaps write a script that uses PDFpen or mdls.
