Actually no. I want to change the Windows metadata. This is the same metadata that is on all files. It isn't PDF specific. (I wonder if Linux is the same)
Basically, I can select 100's of file in a dir, right-click, properties, summary, and add something to the Category field. This obviously affects all files giving them all the same attribute. I can continue doing it this way but I thought perhaps a script would be best. Maybe it isn't, I don't know. Anyway, thank-you for the links.
