       pdfclean - pretty print, decompress and garbage collect PDF files

SYNOPSIS

       pdfclean [options] input.pdf [output.pdf] [pages]

DESCRIPTION

       pdfclean  pretty prints and rewrites the contents of a PDF file.  If no output file is specified, the new file will be written to "out.pdf"
       in the current directory.

OPTIONS

       -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.
