pdf2doi : A python library to retrieve the DOI (or other identifiers) from a pdf file
For an arXiv paper is slightly more complicated because a query to export.arxiv.org returns data in XML format, so you need to parse it (I use feedparser) and then build a valid BibTeX string. You can take a look at the functions arxiv2bib and make_bibtex.
