Extract Metadata from Documents Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Parser extracts metadata such as author, title, creation date, and custom properties from supported formats (see supported formats).
from groupdocs.parser import Parser
with Parser("./sample.pdf") as parser:
metadata_items = parser.get_metadata()
if metadata_items is None:
print("Metadata extraction is not supported for this format.")
else:
for item in metadata_items:
print(f"{item.name}: {item.value}")
The following sample file is used in this example: sample.pdf

- Create a
Parserfor the target document. - Call
get_metadata()to receive a collection of metadata items. - Iterate through
nameandvaluepairs and process them as needed.
For deeper parsing (attachments, text, images), combine metadata extraction with other basic usage topics.
