Get document info Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Metadata allows users to get document information which includes:
- File format (detected by the internal structure)
- File extension
- MIME type
- Number of pages
- File size
- A value indicating whether a file is encrypted
The following code sample demonstrates how to extract basic format information from a file.
from groupdocs.metadata import Metadata
def get_document_info():
# Open the file (the context manager releases it on exit)
with Metadata("input.xlsx") as metadata:
# Read basic information detected from the file's internal structure
info = metadata.get_document_info()
# Format, extension and MIME type come from the file_type descriptor
print(f"File format: {info.file_type.file_format}")
print(f"File extension: {info.file_type.extension}")
print(f"MIME Type: {info.file_type.mime_type}")
# Page/size/encryption details are exposed directly on the info object
print(f"Number of pages: {info.page_count}")
print(f"Document size: {info.size} bytes")
print(f"Is document encrypted: {info.is_encrypted}")
