70 !!CONFIGURATION FILE
71
72
73 Pdfinfo reads a configuration file at startup. It first
74 tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If
75 that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file,
76 typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be
77 changed when pdfinfo is built). See the xpdfrc(5) man
78 page for details.
79 !!OPTIONS

83 file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the
84 description of the corresponding command line
85 option.
