PDF export gets 'Obsidian' as metadata title

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use any note.
  2. In the top right corner of the note, select
    image.
  3. Select Export to PDF…
  4. Use the following settings:
  5. Select Export to PDF.

Here’s the PDF metadata information for the exported PDF file in Adobe Reader:

In other words, the problem is that the PDF gets the title ‘Obsidian’, which is not the name of the original note. It would be great if the title could either be taken from the name of the note in Obsidian or that we could be able to enter a custom name for the PDF file as part of the export-from-Obsidian process.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes.

Expected result

That the title of the PDF file—meaning the Title metadata field, not the file name—should be something other than ‘Obsidian’.

Actual result

The title of the PDF file should be customisable or changeable.

Environment

Obsidian 1.9.6 on Windows.
