NAME
       pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document informa
       tion 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)

CONFIGURATION FILE
       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/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be
       changed when pdfinfo is built).   See  the  xpdfrc(5)  man
       page for details.

OPTIONS
       Many  of  the following options can be set with configura
       tion file commands.  These are listed in  square  brackets
       with  the  description  of  the corresponding command line
       option.

       -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, Crop
              Box, 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.   The
              encoding-name  must  be defined with the unicodeMap
              command (see xpdfrc(5)).  This defaults to "Latin1"
              (which is a built-in encoding).  [config file: tex
              tEncoding]

       -opw password
              Specify the owner password for the PDF file.   Pro
              viding  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  sys
              tem-wide config 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.
