Testing contract

Expected to pass

Scenario: Verify metadata removal from the stripped DOCX without changing its underlying content.
Expected result: Find no descriptive metadata; compute documentXml SHA-256 2aa28c5e20d27bb6181272ea01d85daad6e4f099c2dca5611d1e368d32fc2c69, matching the full twin.

What is a .docx file?

DOCX is the default Microsoft Word format, an Office Open XML document packaged as a ZIP archive of XML parts, media, and relationships. It stores structured text, styles, tables, images, and metadata. It is the dominant format for editable word-processing documents.

How to use this file

Use an example DOCX to test Office Open XML parsing, text and style extraction, ZIP-package handling, and converters that render or transform Word documents.

How to use this file for testing

“DOCX with Metadata Stripped” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Metadata testing, Conversion testing. Images, audio, video, and documents with documented metadata paired with deliberately stripped versions, for verifying extraction, preservation, redaction, and privacy-scrubbing behavior.

Documented properties for this file: DOCX · 1,603 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.

Code examples

from docx import Document  # pip install python-docx

doc = Document("docx-core-custom-stripped.docx")
for p in doc.paragraphs[:10]:
    print(p.text)
