Read document properties

The following example shows you how to read and display document properties (metadata).

import com.independentsoft.office.CoreProperties;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument("c:\\test\\input.docx");

            CoreProperties properties = doc.getCoreProperties();

            if (properties != null)
            {
                System.out.println("Title: " + properties.getTitle());
                System.out.println("Subject: " + properties.getSubject());
                System.out.println("Creator: " + properties.getCreator());
                System.out.println("Keywords: " + properties.getKeywords());
                System.out.println("Description: " + properties.getDescription());
                System.out.println("Last Modified By: " + properties.getLastModifiedBy());
                System.out.println("Revision: " + properties.getRevision());
                System.out.println("Created: " + properties.getCreated());
                System.out.println("Modified: " + properties.getModified());
                System.out.println("Category: " + properties.getCategory());
                System.out.println("Content Status: " + properties.getContentStatus());
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
