NAME

       pdfdetach - Portable Document Format (PDF) document embedded file extractor (version 3.03)

SYNOPSIS

       pdfdetach [options] [PDF-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Pdfdetach lists or extracts embedded files (attachments) from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

OPTIONS

       Some  of  the  following options can be set with configuration file commands.  These are listed in square
       brackets with the description of the corresponding command line option.

       -list  List all of the embedded files in the PDF file.  File names are converted  to  the  text  encoding
              specified by the "-enc" switch.

       -save number
              Save  the  specified  embedded  file.   By  default,  this  uses the file name associated with the
              embedded file (as printed by the "-list" switch); the file name  can  be  changed  with  the  "-o"
              switch.

       -saveall
              Save  all  of the embedded files.  This uses the file names associated with the embedded files (as
              printed by the "-list" switch).  By default, the files are saved in the  current  directory;  this
              can be changed with the "-o" switch.

       -o path
              Set the file name used when saving an embedded file with the "-save" switch, or the directory used
              by "-saveall".

       -enc encoding-name
              Sets the encoding to use for text output (embedded file names).  This defaults to "UTF-8".

       -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.)
