Getting Document Information Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET provides a standard method to obtain information about a document. You can retrieve a basic document information or detailed as shown below for various formats.
To retrieve document information, use the Converter.get_document_info() method. It returns a DocumentInfo object containing details common to all supported document types, such as format, creation date, size, and page count.
from groupdocs.conversion import Converter
def get_document_info():
# Load the document and retrieve information
with Converter("./lorem-ipsum.txt") as converter:
info = converter.get_document_info()
# Print basic document info
print("Format:", info.format)
print("Pages count:", info.pages_count)
print("Creation date:", info.creation_date)
print("Size, bytes:", info.size)
