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.)
