get_document_info Leave feedback

get_document_info returns format, page count, title, author, and whether the file is encrypted — without doing the conversion. The precondition check before committing to a long document. Example prompt: “How many pages is this, and is it protected?”

Tool description (as the AI agent sees it):

Returns document information (file format, page count, title, author, encryption flag) as JSON, without performing a full Markdown conversion. Supports PDF, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB, MOBI, and 20+ more formats recognized by GroupDocs.Markdown. Useful as a precondition check before ConvertToMarkdown — e.g. ‘how many pages does this PDF have?’ or to decide which pages to request or whether a password is needed. Returns a JSON object with fileName, fileFormat, pageCount (worksheet count for spreadsheets), title, author, and isEncrypted. Do NOT pre-check whether files exist — just pass the filename the user provided. The tool resolves files from storage and returns an error with available files if a name is not found. On failure, the response text starts with ‘Document-info lookup failed for’ followed by the underlying exception type, message, and inner chain.

A JSON object with the file format, page count, title, author, and encryption flag.

Two uses that save time: deciding whether to convert the whole document or a page range, and catching an encrypted file before the conversion fails — the agent can then ask you for the password instead of guessing.

On failure the text starts with Document-info lookup failed for, followed by the exception type and message.

• “How many pages does this document have?”
• “Is this PDF password-protected?”
• “What is the title and author before I convert it?”
