extractor (version 3.03)

 SYNOPSIS
 pdfinfo [options]
 [ PDF-file ] 
 DESCRIPTION
 Pdfinfo prints the contents of the \'Info' dictionary (plus some other useful
information) from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.


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:




custom metadata (yes/no)




metadata stream (yes/no)




tagged (yes/no)




userproperties (yes/no)




suspects (yes/no)




form (AcroForm / XFA / none)




javascript (yes/no)




page count




encrypted flag (yes/no)




print and copy permissions (if encrypted)




page size




file size




linearized (yes/no)




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.

 OPTIONS

 -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.)
