Extracting PDF metadata in Python 3
Download this code from https://codegive.com
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used format for document exchange due to its platform independence and consistent appearance. In Python, you can use the PyPDF2 library to extract metadata from PDF files. Metadata includes information like the author, title, creation date, and more.
Before you begin, ensure you have Python 3 installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.
Additionally, you need to install the PyPDF2 library. You can install it using pip:
Now, let's create a Python script to extract metadata from a PDF file.
Replace "path/to/your/file.pdf" with the actual path to your PDF file.
This script defines a function extract_pdf_metadata that takes the path to a PDF file as an argument and prints various metadata information using the PyPDF2 library. The information includes the title, author, subject, creator, producer, creation date, modification date, and the number of pages.
Save the script in a file, for example, extract_pdf_metadata.py, and run it using the following command:
This will display the metadata information for the specified PDF file.
Remember that not all PDFs may contain the same metadata, and some information may be missing depending on how the document was created.
