Hello,

I am using aspose.pdf 4.3.0 and aspose.pdf.kit 4.4.0 , i need to check if a file with a pdf extension is a real pdf file.
Is there a method to do that?
I also need to do the same test for doc, ppt and xls

Please advice,

Hi Karine,

Thanks for contacting support.

In order to determine if the source/input file is PDF, please try using the following code snippet.

[Java]

// load the source file
com.aspose.pdf.facades.PdfFileInfo info = new com.aspose.pdf.facades.PdfFileInfo("C:/PDFTEST/34445.pdf");

// determine if the file is PDF
System.out.println(info.isPdfFile());

Furthermore, we recommend you to please migrate your code from legacy Aspose.Pdf.Kit for Java to autoported MergedAPI release of Aspose.Pdf for Java.
