NAME

       dumppdf - dumps internal contents of a PDF files

SYNOPSIS

       dumppdf [option...] file...

DESCRIPTION

       dumppdf dumps the internal contents of a PDF file in pseudo-XML format. This program is primarily for debugging purposes, but it's also
       possible to extract some meaningful contents

OPTIONS

       -a
	   Dump all the objects. By default only the document trailer is printed.

       -i objno[,objno,...]
	   Specifies PDF object IDs to display. Comma-separated IDs, or multiple -i options are accepted.

       -p pageno[,pageno,...]
	   Specifies the comma-separated list of the page numbers to be extracted. Page numbers start at one. By default, it extracts text from
	   all the pages.

       -r, -b, -t
	   Specifies the output format of stream contents. Because the contents of stream objects can be very large, they are omitted when none of
	   the options above is specified.

	   With -r option, the "raw" stream contents are dumped without decompression. With -b option, the decompressed contents are dumped as a
	   binary blob. With -t option, the decompressed contents are dumped in a text format, similar to repr() manner. When -r or -b option is
	   given, no stream header is displayed for the ease of saving it to a file.

       -T
	   Show the table of contents.

       -P password
	   Provides the user password to access PDF contents.

       -d
	   Increase the debug level.

EXAMPLES

       Dump all the headers and contents, except stream objects:

	   $ dumppdf -a test.pdf

       Dump the table of contents:

	   $ dumppdf -T test.pdf

       Extract a JPEG image:

	   $ dumppdf -r -i6 test.pdf > image.jpeg

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 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)

OPTIONS

       -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 examined.

       -l number
	      Specifies the last page to examine.

       -box   Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox, and ArtBox.

	      Prints the raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF file.

       -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.)
