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.
