NAME

pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor (version 1.00)

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.

The Info' dictionary contains the following values:

title

subject

keywords

author

creator

producer

creation date

modification date

page count

encrypted flag (yes/no)

print and copy permissions (if encrypted)

CONFIGURATION FILE

Pdfinfo 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 pdfinfo 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.

-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.
