NAME

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

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.

       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.

OPTIONS

       -f number
              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.

       -l number
              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.

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

       -listenc
              Lits the available encodings

       -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.

       -v     Print copyright and version information.

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

EXIT CODES

       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.
