    How to add information to the "Authors" and "Year" to PDF file details?


    TL;DR: "Authors", "Year", etc. fields of .pdf files are blank, how to populate them?Greetings! So, I have a fairly simple and straightforward question/problem. I use a lot of PDFs for my research and I would like to organize them better in File Explorer. And no, I don't want to use programs like Zotero, Mendeley, etc., because they change the destination of PDFs, their name, make their version of "parent file", and, in short, I don't want to have to use a different program to access my files - I like Windows Folder/File organization just fine. Therefore, I want to be able to add information

    :)

  3. Searching in PDF?

    Hey guys, I need to look up a large list of data from a PDF file, basically just to check if each entry of the list is in the pdf. Is there some way to do this without having to check one by one?
