NAME

pdffonts - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer (version 1.00)

SYNOPSIS

pdffonts [options? [''PDF-file''?

DESCRIPTION

Pdffonts lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file along with various information for each font.

The following information is listed for each font:

name

the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially including a subset prefix)

type

the font type -- see below for details

emb

sub

uni

object ID

the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)

PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:

Type 1

Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF)

Type 3

TrueType

CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type

CID Type 0C -- 16-bit !PostScript CFF font

CID !TrueType -- 16-bit !TrueType font

CONFIGURATION FILE

Pdffonts reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find the user's private config file, /.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be changed when pdffonts is built). See the xpdfrc(5) man page for details.

OPTIONS

Many of the following options can be set with configuration file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the corresponding command line option.

-f number

Specifies the first page to analyze.

-l number

Specifies the last page to analyze.

-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.

-cfg config-file

Read config-file in place of /.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file.

-v

Print copyright and version information.

-h

Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)

BUGS

No known bugs.
