Title: [Linux] PDFMtEd – a basic exiftool GUI for editing PDF Metadata
Post by: Glutanimate on September 02, 2014, 12:30:30 AM
Hey guys,

I'd like to share a new project of mine with you:

PDFMtEd (https://github.com/Glutanimate/PDFMtEd) is a set of bash scripts centered around viewing and editing PDF metadata in an easy to use fashion. The utilities hosted in the repo use YAD (http://sourceforge.net/projects/yad-dialog/), a Zenity fork, as a graphical front-end to exiftool:

As it stands you can use PDFMtEd to:

- view and modify all major PDF metadata tags
- rename PDF files based on their metadata
- irreversibly purge PDF files of all existing meta information (using a method (https://gist.github.com/hubgit/6078384) described by Github user hubgit)

I would be very glad if you gave it a try. Feedback is very much appreciated!

Cheers
