There are a variety of download tools available in the forum, but many of them overlook the bookinfo.dat generation, so it is important to explain the importance of this file.

First, the standard Bookinfo.dat
The bookinfo.dat generated by Ssreader contains the following fields: title, author, number of pages, SS, publication date.
Pdgthumbviewer Check if the image version of the PDG file is missing from the page number, other software will also extract information from these fields to generate book management information. So whenever possible, the bookinfo.dat generated by any third-party download tool should include at least these standard fields, and the field names cannot be wrong.

Ii. Expansion of Bookinfo.dat
Ssreader generated Bookinfo.dat content is relatively simple, lack of "publisher" and other useful information, so some third-party download tools can be based on the LR link, to generate extended information, including: Book name, size, DX number, the original price of books, the classification number, publishing house, keyword, reference file format , content summary, author profile, and so on.
Pdg2pic will fill in the PDF document according to title, author, reference file format, keyword, title, Author, Subject, keywords,freepic2pdf in the freepic2pdf file [Info] section. Properties, including title, Author, Subject, Keyword.

Unicornviewer v0.08+ 's "PDG file Lookup" feature can find the specified keywords in bookinfo.dat, so the richer the Bookinfo.dat content, the more things you can search for. For the image version of the PDG, any useful textual information is valuable.

In addition, in the LR page, the "ISBN" and "Chinese Figure Law classification number" mixed together, but from the book Management point of view, the two fields should be separated, the general library is also used in the classification.
