With Spire.PDF for .NET, developers can set page size for PDF in C#. This article will demonstrates how to get the PDF page size using Spire.PDF.

Detail steps:

Step 1: Create a PdfDocument instance and load the sample.pdf file.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile("Sample.pdf");

Step 2: Get the width and height of the first page in the PDF file.

PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages[0];
float pointWidth = page.Size.Width;
float pointHeight = page.Size.Height;

Step 3: Convert the size with other measurement unit, such as in Inch, Centimeter, Unit or Pixel.

//Create PdfUnitConvertor to convert the unit
PdfUnitConvertor unitCvtr = new PdfUnitConvertor();

//Convert the size with "pixel"
float pixelWidth = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(pointWidth, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point, PdfGraphicsUnit.Pixel);
float pixelHeight = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(pointHeight, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point, PdfGraphicsUnit.Pixel);

//Convert the size with "inch"
float inchWidth = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(pointWidth, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point, PdfGraphicsUnit.Inch);
float inchHeight = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(pointHeight, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point, PdfGraphicsUnit.Inch);

//Convert the size with "centimeter"
float centimeterWidth = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(pointWidth, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter);
float centimeterHeight = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(pointHeight, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter);

Step 4: Save to a .txt file.

//Create StringBuilder to save 
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
//Add pointSize string to StringBuilder
content.AppendLine("The page size of the file is (width: " + pointWidth + "pt, height: " + pointHeight + "pt).");
content.AppendLine("The page size of the file is (width: " + pixelWidth + "pixel, height: " + pixelHeight + "pixel).");
content.AppendLine("The page size of the file is (width: " + inchWidth + "inch, height: " + inchHeight + "inch).");
content.AppendLine("The page size of the file is (width: " + centimeterWidth + "cm, height: " + centimeterHeight + "cm.)");

String output = "GetPageSize_out.txt";
//Save them to a txt file
File.WriteAllText(output, content.ToString());

Output:
