GroupDocs.Conversion Product Family

Hello,

I came across a very strange issue. When using GroupDocs.Conversion 20.1.0.0 to get document information, for every pdf document it returns same value of Height: 842 and Width: 595 which is wrong.

        using (Converter converter = new Converter(DocumentSource))
        {
            IDocumentInfo info = converter.GetDocumentInfo();

            DocumentInfo documentInfo = info as DocumentInfo;
            keyValues.Add(ContentAttribute.CreationDate.ToString(), documentInfo.CreationDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt"));
            keyValues.Add(ContentAttribute.Format.ToString(), documentInfo.Format);
            keyValues.Add(ContentAttribute.PagesCount.ToString(), documentInfo.PagesCount.ToString());
            keyValues.Add(ContentAttribute.Size.ToString(), documentInfo.Size.ToString());

            foreach (string propertyName in documentInfo.PropertyNames)
            {
                if (!keyValues.ContainsKey(propertyName)) {
                    keyValues.Add(propertyName, documentInfo[propertyName]);
                }
            }
        }

@atirtahir3,
While you are looking into this issue, for now can I use GroupDocs.Parser.GetDocumentInfo method to get correct Height and Width? Will it work reliably for all documents? Or is there any other GroupDocs library which can be used for finding these attributes.

@Shaheer1995,

Yes, you can use GroupDocs.Parser for this purpose. Below is the code to find height and width of a page:

using (Parser parser = new Parser(@"D:/sample.pdf"))
{
     IDocumentInfo info = parser.GetDocumentInfo();
     for (int i = 0; i < info.PageCount; i++)
     { 
          Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Page Width: {0}", info.Pages[i].Width));
          Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Page Height: {0}", info.Pages[i].Height));
          Console.WriteLine("\n");
     }
                
}

We’d recommend you to download and integrate latest version of the API that is 20.5. Have a look at this screenshot.JPG (26.9 KB).
