LLLLLLL Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have found some info on manipulating PDF documents here http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php and elsewhere, but I can't get exactly what I need. What's the easiest way to get metadata (author, title, keywords, etc.) from a PDF document? Basically I want the opposite of http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pdf-set-info.php Is there an easy "get info" function somewhere?

LLLLLLL Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah, I saw that. Was hoping for something more built-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's kind of hard to check that without having a program that can read PDF files and then give the okay if it's a PDF file following the "standards" or whatever. If you just want a quick look at the file, you could read the first 4 letters of the file. It should say: %PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
