SYNOPSIS

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)
          form (AcroForm / XFA / none)
          javascript (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.)

   -js    Prints all JavaScript in the PDF.

   -struct
          Prints the logical document structure of a Tagged-PDF file.

   -struct-text
          Print the textual content along with the document structure of a
          Tagged-PDF file.  Note that extracting text this  way  might  be
          slow for big PDF files.  (Implies -struct.)

   -rawdates
          Prints  the  raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF
          file.

   -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.
