pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor (version 3.03)

       The pdfinfo software and documentation are copyright 1996-2011 Glyph & Cog, LLC.

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.

       The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

       0      No error.

       1      Error opening a PDF file.

       2      Error opening an output file.

       3      Error related to PDF permissions.

       99     Other error.

-fnumber
              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.

       -lnumber
              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.

       -encencoding-name
              Sets the encoding to use for text output. This defaults to "UTF-8".

       -listenc
              Lits the available encodings

       -opwpassword
              Specify  the  owner  password  for  the  PDF  file.   Providing  this  will  bypass  all  security
              restrictions.

       -upwpassword
              Specify the user password for the PDF file.

       -v     Print copyright and version information.

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