Importing PDFs with metadata

$

I am wondering about importing a set of PDF magazine issues into my Calibre library.

If I import tham via "Add Books" I get poor results because currently the only metadata in the PDFs is the magazine name, and I get a bunch of hard to distinguish magazines with identical names. I need the year and issue number to be imported as well, which matches how the magazines are published.

I can script exiftool (not the first tool I'd have thought of) to write metadata into each PDF.

But what does Calibre read from a PDF and put into things like dates and number-in-series?
