PDFMeta

PDFMeta is a gem designed to resiliantly return metadata from a PDF, using poppler/xpdf command line tools

Install the poppler command line tools:

###OSX

brew install poppler

###Debian Based

apt-get install poppler-utils

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pdf_meta'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pdf_meta

You shouldn't need to configure the gem, however if you've installed pdfinfo in a custom location then pass it here

PDFMeta.configure do |config|
  config[:command_path] = '/path/to/pdfinfo' #=> Default is just 'pdfinfo' in path
end

There's only one call to the API, it takes either a string path to a file, or an open file handle

PDFMeta.read('path/to/file')

PDFMeta.read(File.open('path/to/file'))

It will return either a PDFMeta::Results or raise one of the following errors:

• PopplerMissingError
• UnknownError
• UnableToReadFileError
• UnableOpenOutputFileError
• PDFPermissionError
• UnknownPopplerError
