pdfinfo(1) General Commands Manual pdfinfo(1) NAME pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor (version 3.03) SYNOPSIS pdfinfo [options] [PDF-file] DESCRIPTION Pdfinfo prints the contents of the 'Info' dictionary (plus some other use- ful information) from a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. If PDF-file is '-', it reads the PDF file from stdin. The 'Info' dictionary contains the following values: title subject keywords author creator producer creation date modification date In addition, the following information is printed: custom metadata (yes/no) metadata stream (yes/no) tagged (yes/no) userproperties (yes/no) suspects (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) The options -listenc, -meta, -js, -struct, and -struct-text only print the requested information. The 'Info' dictionary and related data listed above is not printed. At most one of these five options may be used. OPTIONS -f number Specifies the first page to examine. If multiple pages are re- quested 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.) -custom Prints custom and standard metadata. -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.) -url Print all URLs in the PDF. Only the URL types supported by Poppler are listed. Currently, this is limited to Annotations. Note: only URLs referenced by the PDF objects such as Link Annotations are listed. pdfinfo does not attempt to extract strings matching http://... from the text content. -isodates Prints dates in ISO-8601 format (including the time zone). -rawdates Prints the raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF file. -dests Print a list of all named destinations. If a page range is specified using "-f" and "-l", only destinations in the page range are listed. -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.
