Get pdf properties from active file

[tauruzian]

#include <extprop.au3>
$PATH = FileOpenDialog("Select a file to read attributes",@ScriptDir,"All (*.*)")
For $I=1 to 2
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & $I & ": " & _GetExtProperty($PATH,180) )
Next

Above code used, to get pdf properties. We have to choose the file from the file explorer to read the properties. How do I do if i want to read the properties from active window. For an example, I have pdf file open (A.pdf), instead I choose the file, I read the pdf properties from active file. Please advice.

Pretty sure you can find what you're looking for there.  I forgot that our search engine provides us with tiny urls or I would have shown you that way.

Search -> Advanced -> (search for) pdf -> Title only -> Example Script forum

That brought up the 7 or 8 pdf topics in example scripts that I'm sure have what you're looking for.

There is no issue in getting information/properties from the PDF. By using extprop.au3 I managed to pull the information that I want. I just having issue in pointing the PDF. I only get the pdf title name by using below code.

WinActivate('[CLASS:AcrobatSDIWindow]')
Global $sText = WinGetTitle("")

How do I get the properties just based on the Wingettitte()?

What do you mean by "pointing the PDF" - do you mean pointing at the active PDF?  If so, if you have Acrobat (not reader) you can also do >this.  It shows the active PDF.  Otherwise, can you explain that?

Yes, pointing to active PDF. By using WinGetTitle("") I only get the active PDF file name.
