pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information
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:
tagged (yes/no)
form (AcroForm / XFA / none)
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)
()
2 ONFIGURATION_FIL
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.

2 OPTIONS
Many of the following options can be set with configuration file com-
mands. 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 exam-
ined.
-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.)
-rawdates
Prints the raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF
file.
-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). [con-
fig file: textEncoding]
-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.)
