PDF support #281

Open oliver021 opened 3 years ago

oliver021 commented 3 years ago

Hello friends, I was wondering if it would not be a good idea to include a metadata extractor for other types of files, such as pdf, excel sheets, word documents, etc, since these types of files contain a lot of metadata as well, and I have not seen any library topic on metadata extraction that covers that function, it would be very good since the title of this library is not really limited to metadata of multimedia files.

The library is open to the addition of support for other kinds of data, with the following guidelines:

No dependencies on external libraries (we have only one exception to this for XMP processing)
Metadata must be representable using the directory/tag structure we use throughout

Support for PDF is being tracked in the sibling Java library in https://github.com/drewnoakes/metadata-extractor/issues/327. I have no issue with supporting other document types as you suggest.
