NAME

       changepdfstring - Search and replace in PDF metadata

SYNOPSIS

        changepdfstring [options] infile.pdf search-str replace-str [outfile.pdf]

        Options:
          -o --order          preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
          -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
          -h --help           verbose help message
          -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

DESCRIPTION

       Searches through a PDF file's metadata for instances of "search-str" and inserts "replace-str".  Note
       that this does not change the actual PDF page layout, but only interactive features, like forms and
       annotation.  To change page layout strings, use instead changepagestring.

       The "search-str" can be a literal string, or it can be a Perl regular expression by wrapping it in
       "regex(...)".  For example:

         changepdfstring in.pdf 'regex(CAM-PDF-(\d.\d+))' 'version=$1' out.pdf
