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.)
