a simple tool that sets (parts of) the filename as title for PDFs

---

If your PDF filenames are formatted as <author> - <year> - <title>.pdf, this tool will put <title> in the title metadata field of your pdf. Otherwise it will just put the whole filename as title. usage:

• download script
  
• conda install pdfrw or pip install pdfrw
  
• run python write_title_to_pdf_metadata.py -p <PATH_TO_YOUR_PDFs>
  

WARNING: this will overwrite your PDF files. Make a backup before you use this. The tool is provided as it is. I do not assume any liability for lost data.
