Title: .docx processed as Zip
Post by: pyrodie18 on March 30, 2020, 09:44:25 PM
I'm using the tool on a Linux system to examine a .docx Word file, however it processes the file as .zip.  I get that office documents are zip files underneath the hood but I'm pretty sure there's a way to it to examine everything.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Troy

Hi Troy,

ExifTool tries to identify word files and extract metadata from the appropriate XML section.  Send the file to me and I'll take a look (philharvey66 at gmail.com)
