NAME
pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor (version 1.00)

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:

    page count
    encrypted flag (yes/no)
    print and copy permissions (if encrypted)
    linearized (yes/no)

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/local/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 configuration file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the corresponding command line option.

-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.)

BUGS
No known bugs.
