SYNOPSIS

       pdfinfo [options] [PDF-file]

       Pdfinfo prints the contents of the 'Info' dictionary (plus some other useful information) from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

       The 'Info' dictionary contains the following values:

	      author
	      creator
	      producer

	      print and copy permissions (if encrypted)
	      page size

	      PDF version
	      metadata (only if requested)

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

       -box   Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox, and ArtBox.

       -listenc
	      Lits the available encodings
