NAME
       pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information 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,  /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc.   See  the
       xpdfrc(5) man page for details.

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.)

       -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.)

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.
