I can change the PDF file's title on the iPad-- tap the Edit button, select the item, and tap on the title-- but how does one change, or rather, add an author's name there if it is missing?

How to edit & organize pdf's in iBooks?

How does one edit title and authors in list view of pdf's in iBooks, and then organize them into catagories, and name catagories?

Actually, you can retitle PDFs from within iBooks on the iPad itself. See my post at
Can I edit title of PDF in iBooks?
Maybe that will help you or someone else with a similar question.

I can't understand how to edit titles on the spine of books. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

the trouble is that on the spine of the book the title is cut off and I don't know how avoid it.
I don't think you can, Fred. Pick a shorter title. And add the additional information by adding a subtitle on your title page. You can always add a second text box, using the "edit layout" panel.

Can I edit title of PDF in iBooks?

I wish to edit some of the titles of PDF's that are in my iBooks to make search a lot easier. Is this possible?

How to Change PDF Titles in iBooks Right on Your iPhone or iPad Itself!
This was driving me crazy, especially as all over the net there are bold statements it CANNOT be done along with convoluted, multi-step, hard-to-follow directions for doing this. They involve transferring to Calibre, or transferring via iTunes then converting, rummaging within container files, editing meta data, etc.
Well, gang , it's easy to change *PDF* titles on your iOS device, iPad, or iPhone, right from within iBooks itself!!
All you need to do is to select the specific book and tap its title!    You do that by putting the books into a list view, so that you can see the titles. Then tap a Edit in the upper right corner, select the book (tap the empty circle to its left), then tap the title! That brings up the keyboard. From there, backspace to delete letters or double-tap the title to select it all at once to replace it all at once.
I can't believe how simple it is. Of course, bad Apple, it doesn't work the same way as in other Apple apps, but hey, it's doable. It also doesn't seem to work with ePub books.
For the visually oriented, or for those who find I've made it too simple or left something out, take a gander at this video:
            http://www.documentsnap.com/rename-pdf-ibooks/
Note:   If you're having trouble making any selection, that's due to Apple's iBooks getting into a weird state every now and then where the empty circles cannot be selected-- for moving, deleting, anything. If that happens, force-quit the app, relaunch, and go to town renaming your PDFs. A couple of times I've also found that rather then being up the keyboard, it turns off the selection.
Happily, files/PDF books that used to be named such things as
           pleasuresofteles00servrich
and
           popguidetoheaven00ballrich
can be renamed to their proper titles
          Pleasures of the Telescope
and
          Popular Guide to the Heavens
Hope this helps someone else!

How to Edit Titles, Transitions, and Music in a Copy of an iMovie Project?

23 December 2009
Dear Mac Users:
Happy Holidays! I am writing to find out how to edit a copy of an iMovie project. A friend made an
iMovie (project) on his MacBook Pro and sent it to me as an MPEG4 video file. I opened that MPEG4 video file in iMovie on my MacBook Pro and dragged it into a new project in my Project Library--we
are both using iMovie '09.
Is there any way that I can view the title, transition, and music buttons/icons/markers that my friend used to create this particular iMovie project so that I can select them and make changes to the titles, transitions, and music? Primarily, I want to change the titles in this particular iMovie project, but do not see the buttons/icons/markers that are associated with the original iMovie project that my friend created. Is there any way that I can make changes to the titles and transitions that appear in this project on my computer?
SIncerely,
Corey

*24 December 2009*
*Dear Mac Users:*
Hello. Thanks to AppleMan1958 for answering my question about how to edit an iMovie project
on another computer.
Here is a question related to the process of transferring the iMovie '09 project file from my friend's
computer to an external drive so that I can edit that project in iMovie '09 on my MacBook Pro:
How do I know if my Smart Disk FireLite portable external drive is formatted to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)? How I do format this Smart Disk FireLite USBFLB80C to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)?
When I connect the Smart Disk FireLite to my MacBook Pro via USB, open iMovie '09, and select View
Events By Disk or rather "Group Events By Disk," an icon for the FireLite external drive appears, but there is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark on the icon for the external drive. What does this "warning" mean? There are MP3s of music on the same external drive and they open just fine in iTunes. The one iMovie project file that is already on the drive will not open up in iMovie.
So, how do I properly format this external drive in order to transfer an iMovie project file from my friend's computer so that I can edit it on my MacBook Pro using iMovie '09?
Sincerely,
Corey

How to edit book/author on this template?

I've been working off of the BookPatch template for InDesign (6x9, download here) and as I'm kind of new with ID I'm having a problem. I can add pages and add the text to them fine, but there's these sections at the top of each page (the red arrows) that I'm not sure how to edit. Adding new pages numbers the correctly at the bottom (the blue arrow), so I'm guessing there's a way to edit it once somewhere and have it reflect over each page? I tried the text tool and direct selection tool but I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch, all set.

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!

How do you hide Save as PDF options (title, author, etc.)?

The Print as PDF dialog has options for author, title, etc. I never use these and for me this area is just wasted space in the dialog window. Is there any way to hide this area so the file browser area is larger?
Does Lion have these options and are they hideable?

No for Snow Leopard and I assume no for Lion (I don't use Lion). Apple hasn't changed standard file (that's the dialog) for years.
If you want to improve the open and save dialogs to make them a little easier to live with I suggest you add Default Folder. It's been around since OS9 days simply because apple's treatment of these dialogs has always left something to be desired.

How do you add Authors name in iBooks?

When I save my iBook to iTunes it shows as Author Unknown. I can't seem to find where you would add a name.

Onnie - The place to add Author is in iTunes Producer during the publish phase.
In iTunes Producer go to Book then click on the Authors button along the bottom.
This is were Authors and many other types of producers may be entered.

How to extract Title, Author and Document name from document(.doc;.rtf;..)

Some files contain meta-data from which we can extract even more details.
for example: .mp3 file format is:
at end of file - 128 bytes
offset type len name
0 char 3 "TAG"
3 char 30 title
33 char 30 artist
63 char 30 album
93 char 4 year
97 char 30 comments
127 byte 1 genre
For Documents, is it possible to get the Creator, Title and Name of the document from the file (*.doc, *.rtf, ...)

If the page can grab the CSS, so can you. Look in the code.
Find the link
to the CSS file. Browse to that link. You now have the CSS
file. Or show
us the link's code and we'll get it for you.

File Info (Subject,Title, Author etc) are not converted to PDF

Hi,
We have a RTF file that contains values updated in File Info section (File>Properties in over versions of MS Word). We need these information also to be part of the PDF output in BI Publisher. Unfortunately BI Publisher seems to strip off these information while generating the PDF output.
I have turned on the "Accessibility Mode" and also update the properties section
"Enable text access for screen readers" - True
"Enable copying of text, images, and other content" - True
Has anyone faced this issue?

Got confirmation from SupportWeb that accessibility is available only for HTML outputs.
