NAME
     pdfresurrect - tool for extracting versioning data from PDF documents

SYNOPSIS
     pdfresurrect  file.pdf [-w][-q][-i]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly the pdfresurrect command.

     pdfresurrect is a tool for extracting versioning data from PDF documents.

OPTIONS
     A summary of options is included below.

     -w     Write the PDF versions and summary to disk.

     -q     Display only the number of versions contained in the PDF.

     -i     Display the creator information from the specified PDF.

NOTES
     This tool relies on the application reading the pdfresurrect extracted ver-
     sions  to	treat the last xref(cross-reference) table as the most recent in
     the document.  This should typically be the case.

     The verbose output, which tries to deduce the PDF object type (e.g. stream,
     page), is not always accurate, and the object counts might not be 100%  ac-
     curate.   However,  this should not prevent the extraction of the versions.
     This output is merely to provide a hint for the user as to  what  might  be
     different between the documents.

     Object  counts  might  appear off in linearized PDF documents.  That is not
     truly the case, the reason for this is that each version of  the  PDF  con-
     sists of the objects that compose the linear portion of the PDF plus all of
     the  objects that compose the version in question.  Suppose there is a lin-
     earized PDF with 59 objects in its linear portion, and suppose the PDF  has
     a	second version that consists of 21 objects.  The total number of objects
     in "version 2" would be 59 + 21 or 80 objects.
