How can I automate adding metadata to a PDF document?

Hi Good day,

There are thousands of pdf files, how can I automate adding metadata to these pdf documents?

File name > adding it to the title and subject sections

Thanks....

You can do it using the Action Wizard in Acrobat Pro.

Create a new Action and add to it an Execute JavaScript command with the following code:

this.info.Title = this.documentFileName.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "");

this.info.Subject = this.documentFileName.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "");

Make sure to un-tick the Prompt User box, and then add a Save command after this command, and run it on your files.
