Use case or problem
PDFs generated by Obsidian should have a possibility to set their metadata, especially Title, Author, Subject, Keywords and possibly Date.
It makes later indexing, finding, sorting PDFs much easier. (Think of a big company PDF indexing system, or your Ebook managing software, like Calibre.)
With LaTeX, YAML frontmatter can be used for this purpose:
title: My Ttile
author: Alfred E. Newman
subject: Making PDF more usable
keywords: [PDF, searching, metadata, YAML]
date: 2021-03-06
Proposed solution
It would just be great if Obsidian could support at least the above metadata variables and actually write them into the generated PDFs. Maybe they could even be case-insensitive, like Title:
and title:
meaning the same.
Current workaround (optional)
Manually edit the PDF metadata after generating from Obsidian, using appropriate tools. A tedious and error-prone extra step.
