Python-Net: Get Page Information

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The ‘get_page_information’ utility function helps developers understand the structure and layout of PDF pages. Every PDF page may have different dimensions, rotation, and internal offsets, which can impact content placement or automation tasks.

It features retrieving key metadata and layout information for a specific page in a PDF file. The Aspose.PDF Facades API provides details such as page width, height, rotation, and X/Y offsets. This information is essential for tasks like page layout analysis, annotation placement, or automated PDF processing.

Create a PDF facade object.
Retrieve page dimensions and layout.
Print or store the retrieved values.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def get_page_information(infile):

    # Get and display PDF information
    pdf_info = pdf_facades.PdfFileInfo(infile)
    page_width = pdf_info.get_page_width(1)
    page_height = pdf_info.get_page_height(1)
    page_rotation = pdf_info.get_page_rotation(1)
    page_x_offset = pdf_info.get_page_x_offset(1)
    page_y_offset = pdf_info.get_page_y_offset(1)

    print(f"Page Width: {page_width}")
    print(f"Page Height: {page_height}")
    print(f"Page Rotation: {page_rotation}")

Python-Net: Get Page Offset

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The ‘get_page_offsets’ function provides developers with the exact horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) offsets of pages in a PDF file. In PDF documents, each page may have an internal origin point that differs from the top-left corner of the page, which can affect the positioning of text, images, annotations, or other content.

By using Aspose.PDF Facades, this function extracts these offsets in points and converts them to inches for easy interpretation. It supports multi-page PDFs, making it suitable for automated workflows that require precise content placement.

Create the PDF facade object.
Get the number of pages in the PDF.
Loop through each page to get offsets.
Print or store the offsets.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def get_page_offsets(infile):
    # Get and display PDF information
    pdf_info = pdf_facades.PdfFileInfo(infile)
    page_x_offset = pdf_info.get_page_x_offset(1) / 72.0
    page_y_offset = pdf_info.get_page_y_offset(1) / 72.0
    print(f"Page X Offset: {page_x_offset} inches")
    print(f"Page Y Offset: {page_y_offset} inches")
