Is there any library that can extract titles from PDFs?

[ZelluX]

Hi, all

I want to write a script which will rename PDFs according to their
titles. I want to know if there is any library that can extract
titles(the first line of the PDF) from PDFs.

Many thanks for your reply ;-)

Mathieu Fenniak's PyPdf should be able to do this:

(but note that "the first line of the PDF" may not be the first thing
that's rendered on the page, so don't expect such an approach to work
for all files)
