NAME

       mutool - all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files

SYNOPSIS

       mutool <sub-command> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mutool is a tool based on MuPDF for dealing with PDF files in various manners.  There are several sub
       commands available, as described below.

CLEAN

       mutool clean [options] input.pdf [output.pdf] [pages]

       The clean command pretty prints and rewrites the syntax of a PDF file.  It can be used to repair broken
       files, expand compressed streams, filter out a range of pages, etc.

       If no output file is specified, it will write the cleaned PDF to "out.pdf" in the current directory.

       -p password
              Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

       -g     Garbage  collect  objects  that  have  no references from other objects.  Give the option twice to
              renumber all objects and compact the cross reference table.  Give it  three  times  to  merge  and
              reuse duplicate objects.

       -d     Decompress  streams.  This  will make the output file larger, but provides easy access for reading
              and editing the contents with a text editor.

       -l     Linearize output. Create a "Web Optimized" output file.

       -i     Toggle decompression of image streams. Use in conjunction with -d to leave image- compressed.

       -f     Toggle decompression of font streams. Use in conjunction with -d to leave fonts compressed.

       -a     ASCII Hex encode binary streams. Use in conjuction with -d and -i or -f to  ensure  that  although
              the  images  and/or fonts are compressed, the resulting file can still be viewed and edited with a
              text editor.

       pages  Comma separated list of page ranges to include.

EXTRACT

       mutool extract [options] file.pdf [object numbers]

       The extract command can be used to extract images and font files from a PDF.  If no  object  numbers  are
       given on the command line, all images and fonts will be extracted.

       -p password
              Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

       -r     Convert images to RGB when extracting them.

INFO

       TODO

POSTER

       mutool poster [options] input.pdf [output.pdf]

       The  poster command splits each page into tiles, and puts each tile on a page of its own. It's useful for
       printing a large page onto smaller pieces of paper that can then be glued  together  to  create  a  large
       poster.

       -p password
              Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

       -x factor
              Split the page into this many horizontal pieces.

       -y factor
              Split the page into this many vertical pieces.

       The output will have x times y number of pages for each input page.

SHOW

       mutool show [options] file.pdf [object numbers ...]

       The  show  command  will print the specified objects and streams to stdout.  Streams are decoded and non-
       printable characters are represented with a period by default.

       -b     Print streams as binary data and omit the object header.

       -e     Print streams in their original encoded (or compressed) form.

       -p password
              Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

       Specify objects by number, or use one of the following special names:

       'xref' or 'x'
              Print the cross reference table.

       'trailer' or 't'
              Print the trailer dictionary.

       'pages' or 'p'
              List the object numbers for every page.

       'grep' or 'g'
              Print all the objects in the file in a compact one-line format suitable for piping to grep.
