How do I rename the PDF (both Title & Author) in new ibooks for Mavericks?

Hi!
I can't seem to amend both Title and Author for my PDFs in the new ibooks App in Mavericks.
(Opening it in Preview and renaming it does not change the Author name FYI)
The current solutions present are for 2013 and there is none for the new app in Mavericks.
My obsessiveness does not allow me to list my books in such haphard fashion.
Any kind souls able to help?
Thank you!

LOL!  As you've explained it, the reason this community is called iBook for Macs is because you can easily change PDF titles on a Mac…  
I know that people like to be gatekeepers--and I know that people can post in the wrong places--but that's not what happened here.  I was correcting the previous comment about iBooks on the iPads!  (See earlier post above.)
"iBooks.app  on iPads or Maversick is a "viewing" app ie it allows you to open books etc,. on the device its  used on.  Its "read only" in computing terms.. you cannot change anything."
I wanted to do it by not directly pointing out the person's error, but you've forced my hand! 
By the way, I ended up at this thread inadvertently while looking for how to change book titles in iBooks under iOS.  So, in case anyone else ends up here looking for how to change PDF titles on their iPads, they'll know it can be done and how!
Happy Labor Day, everyone!

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I rename the title of an ibook?

    Ibook is a nice app. unfortunately i cannot rename the titels of pdf files, which are listed in my ibook. How does that work ?
    Thank for the help.

    You cannot rename the PDF files in the iBooks app on the iPad. In theory, this should work (copied from another discussion)
    If the PDFs appear in iTunes (they would be in the Books section of the iTunes Library) then you can change the title by selecting each PDF, File->Get Info from the main menu and change the Name in the Info tab.  Then sync the newly titled PDFs back to the iPad.
    If that does not work, you could copy the PDF files to your hard drive, rename them on the computer - but not within iTunes, drag them back into your iTunes library, and then sync again.
    I really don't know of a shorter or more direct way of renaming the files. You may be able to rename PDF files in apps that let you edit or annotate PDF files, but I don't have any of those apps, so I can't speak with any certainty about it.

  • Renaming the pdf files?

    i have not found a way to rename the pdf files I have downloaded. In other apps it is easy to do so, but iBooks does allow just change the files and not other editing. Do you find this important?

    What are the names directly after splitting?
    1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf.....they are names as in sequence but practically there are not in sequence they are just vertically split
    how do you get 56 files out of 56 pages if each file has 2 pages?
    i got 56 files after splitting vertically.  each side will be splitted into  separate files
    what is the naming convention the splitted  files should be renamed to?
    any name but the sequence should be proper. if it says 1.pdf then it should point to 1st side
    And what does this all have to do with Java?
    need to know the programming logic on how we can do it in java.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

    How do i install the pdf printer

    And on what system? Using what version of Acrobat? Sounds like the typical "I have an Acrobat version from the stone age and want to install it on Win7/ Win8" and if that's the case, you should stop wasting time and just byuy a new license. Anything before Acro 9 is not compatible with these OSs.

  • How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

    Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed.  How do I install the PDF printer??

    Sara,
    Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit).  I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions.  I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file.  I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas.  By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled.  No joy.  When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this.  I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue.  This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update.  But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
    So, hope you’ve got some other magic.  It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
    Thanks for your help,
    Nick

  • HELP!  How do I set the pdf so the user can fill it in and "save as" but protect original pdf?

    I created the pdf form and extended user rights which allows the end user to fill the form in.  However, if they press "Save" instead of "Save As" they overwrite the original pdf.  How can I protect the pdf so they cannot overwrite it but they can use the "Save As" option after filling in the form?

    But guys, aren't there PDF's on the internet that are write-protected so that even if you open it and interact with it (view it) it does not allow you to save changes?  I have seen this before -- a dialog box comes up saying that editing of the PDF file is not possible.
    I have also seen files where you can "Save a Copy As..."

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.

    If you're on Windows, you can try using the PDF Desktop printer to "print" your document to PDF format. Here are the instructions for installing and setting up the PDF Desktop printer: Install and configure Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.
