pdfinfo(1)						      General Commands Manual							pdfinfo(1)

NAME

       pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor (version 3.00)

SYNOPSIS

       pdfinfo [options] [PDF-file]

DESCRIPTION

       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:

	      title
	      subject
	      keywords
	      author
	      creator
	      producer
	      creation date
	      modification date

       In addition, the following information is printed:

	      tagged (yes/no)
	      page count
	      encrypted flag (yes/no)
	      print and copy permissions (if encrypted)
	      page size
	      file size
	      linearized (yes/no)
	      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
	      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.)

       -enc encoding-name
	      Sets the encoding to use for text output. This defaults to "UTF-8".

       -listenc
	      Lits the available encodings

       -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.)

EXIT CODES

       The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

       0      No error.

       1      Error opening a PDF file.

       2      Error opening an output file.

       3      Error related to PDF permissions.

       99     Other error.
