Metadata Extractor

This is a Flask web application designed to extract metadata from .docx and .pdf files. Users can upload a file, and the application will display its metadata, such as title, author, creation date, and more.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• python-docx
• PyPDF2

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone [your-repo-link]
   cd [your-repo-directory]

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install Flask python-docx PyPDF2

Running the Application

To start the application, run:

python [your-app-file-name].py

Replace [your-app-file-name].py with the name of your Python file.

Once the server is running, you can access the application by navigating to:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Features

• File Upload: Users can upload either a .docx or .pdf file to extract metadata.

• Metadata Display: After the successful upload and extraction process, the metadata of the file will be displayed to the user.

• Error Handling: The application handles various scenarios like missing file uploads, unsupported file types, and potential file reading errors.

Endpoints

• Home (/): The main endpoint. It serves the file upload form on a GET request and handles the file upload and metadata extraction on a POST request.

Notes

• Always be cautious when handling file uploads. Ensure that you have the necessary security measures in place if deploying in a production environment.
• This application runs in debug mode (debug=True) by default. It's recommended to set debug=False when deploying to production.
