Extract JPG and PDF metadata

Dear Forum Members,   is it possible to extract JPG and PDF metadata to use it later in Power BI report? That would be a version number for comparison reasons.   Thank you

    Depends on where that information is stored in each file and if it is compressed and/or encrypted.

     

    You can create record libraries to describe the structure of a binary file, then ingest that binary file and "read"  the values according to the defined records.  Much like what you do when reading ZIP files in Power Query.
