pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor
(version 1.00)
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:
title
subject
keywords
author
creator
producer
creation
date
modification date
In addition, the following information is printed:
page count
encrypted flag (yes/no)
print and copy permissions (if encrypted)
linearized (yes/no)
Pdfinfo reads a configuration file
at startup. It first tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc.
If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file, typically
/usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be changed when pdfinfo is
built). See the xpdfrc(5)
man page for details.
Many of the following
options can be set with configuration file commands. These are listed in
square brackets with the description of the corresponding command line
option.
- -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.
- -cfg config-file
- Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc
or the system-wide config file.
- -v
- Print copyright and version information.
- -h
- Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)
No known bugs.
