Syntax

public class DocumentMetadata : Object

Text extraction in IronPDF is handled through DocumentMetadata. It represents document level metadata Contains information about the entire document, such as total pages and table counts.

DocumentMetadata matters when an application needs to configure or invoke text extraction from C# code. The class encapsulates the related options and behavior in a single object that is set up once and reused across render or processing calls. Typical scenarios include batch generation pipelines, templated document workflows, and integration with existing C# document services.

To use DocumentMetadata, instantiate or obtain it from the relevant entry point in the IronPDF C# API. Key properties include PageMetadata, TableCount, TotalPages. Assign options or invoke methods on the instance to configure or perform the operation. The add copy delete pages PDF covers typical usage in C# end to end.

using IronPdf;

var instance = new DocumentMetadata();
var current = instance.PageMetadata;
// Read or assign other properties such as TableCount, TotalPages

For the broader workflow, see the metadata guide in the IronPDF C# documentation. For broader context, the text extraction portion of the IronPDF C# API contains related types that work with DocumentMetadata directly. DocumentMetadata exposes additional members beyond those highlighted above; the reference tables on this page list the full set. In application code, treat DocumentMetadata as a configured object that is constructed once and reused across operations rather than instantiated per call. Configuration is generally idempotent: assigning the same property value twice has the same effect as assigning it once. For diagnostic purposes, inspect the relevant DocumentMetadata property after each operation to confirm the configured state. See the constructors, properties, and methods tables below for the complete API surface of DocumentMetadata.
