Hey guys,

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

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, 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 described by Github user hubgit)

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

Cheers

Thanks.  I have added a link to this from the ExifTool home page.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
