pcf108 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Is there any way to retreive a PDF document's properties such as Page size, and page count? I have found several libraries that generate PDF documents, but I merely want to read some of the properties that are usually displayed in reader. The adobe PDFLib does not appear to have anyway of doing this. I am considering getting the adobe SDK (cost $200), but I'm not sure that it's not overkill or that it will work well with .NET Anyone have any advice/knowledge to share here? Quote
pcf108 Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 i luv notepad Well, in case anyone is interested. I seemed to remember something about PDFs being readable in notepad. So I popped one open, and sure enough... Then downloaded the Adobe PDF reference manual. And found that there are textual tags such as "/Page " indicating a new page item and also tags for crop size and media size. So I'm parsing the pdfs for the heck of it... I think it'll work out but it seems so simple that i'm skeptical. Quote
