Exporting metadata properties Leave feedback
This example demonstrates how to export metadata properties to an Excel workbook. The ExportManager constructor takes a list of MetadataProperty objects, so collect the properties you want (here, the whole tree via find_properties) and wrap the result in list(...). ExportFormat also supports CSV, JSON and XML.
from groupdocs.metadata import Metadata
from groupdocs.metadata.export import ExportManager, ExportFormat
def exporting_metadata_properties():
with Metadata("input.pdf") as metadata:
# Collect the whole metadata tree as a list of properties
properties = list(metadata.find_properties(lambda p: True))
# Export them to an Excel workbook
ExportManager(properties).export("export.xlsx", ExportFormat.XLSX)
print(f"Exported {len(properties)} properties to export.xlsx")
if __name__ == "__main__":
