If PDF-file is \'-', it reads the PDF file from stdin.
The \'Info' dictionary contains the following values:
title
subject
keywords
author
creator
producer
creation date
modification date
In addition, the following information is printed:
form (AcroForm / XFA / none)
page count
print and copy permissions (if encrypted)
page size
file size
PDF version
metadata (only if requested)
The options -listenc, -meta, -js, -struct, and -struct-text only print the requested information. The 'Info' dictionary and related data listed above is not printed. At most one of these five options may be used.
-f " number" Specifies the first page to examine. If multiple pages are requested using the "-f" and "-l" options, the size of each requested page (and, optionally, the bounding boxes for each requested page) are printed. Otherwise, only page one is examined.
-l " number" Specifies the last page to examine.
-box Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox, and ArtBox.
-meta Prints document-level metadata. (This is the "Metadata" stream from the PDF file's Catalog object.)
-custom Prints custom and standard metadata.
-js Prints all JavaScript in the PDF.
-struct Prints the logical document structure of a Tagged-PDF file.
-struct-text Print the textual content along with the document structure of a Tagged-PDF file. Note that extracting text this way might be slow for big PDF files. (Implies -struct .)
-url Print all URLs in the PDF. Only the URL types supported by Poppler are listed. Currently, this is limited to Annotations. Note: only URLs referenced by the PDF objects such as Link Annotations are listed. pdfinfo does not attempt to extract strings matching http://... from the text content.
-isodates Prints dates in ISO-8601 format (including the time zone).
-rawdates Prints the raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF file.
-dests Print a list of all named destinations. If a page range is specified using "-f" and "-l", only destinations in the page range are listed.
-enc " encoding-name" Sets the encoding to use for text output. This defaults to "UTF-8".
-listenc Lits the available encodings
-opw " password" Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this will bypass all security restrictions.
-upw " password" Specify the user password for the PDF file.
-v Print copyright and version information.
-h Print usage information. ( -help and --help are equivalent.)
