74 | .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
|
---|
75 | Pdfinfo reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find
|
---|
76 | the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it
|
---|
77 | looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
|
---|
78 | (but this location can be changed when pdfinfo is built). See the
|
---|
79 | .BR xpdfrc (5)
|
---|
80 | man page for details.
|
---|
81 | .SH OPTIONS
|
---|
82 | Many of the following options can be set with configuration file
|
---|
83 | commands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of
|
---|
84 | the corresponding command line option.
|
---|
85 | .TP
|
---|
86 | .BI \-f " number"
|
---|
87 | Specifies the first page to examine. If multiple pages are requested
|
---|
88 | using the "\-f" and "\-l" options, the size of each requested page
|
---|
89 | (and, optionally, the bounding boxes for each requested page) are
|
---|
90 | printed. Otherwise, only page one is examined.
|
---|
91 | .TP
|
---|
92 | .BI \-l " number"
|
---|
93 | Specifies the last page to examine.
|
---|
94 | .TP
|
---|
95 | .B \-box
|
---|
96 | Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox,
|
---|
97 | TrimBox, and ArtBox.
|
---|
98 | .TP
|
---|
99 | .B \-meta
|
---|
100 | Prints document-level metadata. (This is the "Metadata" stream from
|
---|
101 | the PDF file's Catalog object.)
|
---|
102 | .TP
|
---|
103 | .B \-rawdates
|
---|
104 | Prints the raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF file.
|
---|
105 | .TP
|
---|
106 | .BI \-enc " encoding-name"
|
---|
107 | Sets the encoding to use for text output. The
|
---|
108 | .I encoding\-name
|
---|
109 | must be defined with the unicodeMap command (see
|
---|
110 | .BR xpdfrc (5)).
|
---|
111 | This defaults to "Latin1" (which is a built-in encoding).
|
---|
112 | .RB "[config file: " textEncoding ]
|
---|
113 | .TP
|
---|
114 | .BI \-opw " password"
|
---|
115 | Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this will
|
---|
116 | bypass all security restrictions.
|
---|
117 | .TP
|
---|
118 | .BI \-upw " password"
|
---|
119 | Specify the user password for the PDF file.
|
---|
120 | .TP
|
---|
121 | .BI \-cfg " config-file"
|
---|
122 | Read
|
---|
123 | .I config-file
|
---|
124 | in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file.
|
---|
125 | .TP
|
---|
126 | .B \-v
|
---|
127 | Print copyright and version information.
|
---|
128 | .TP
|
---|
129 | .B \-h
|
---|
130 | Print usage information.
|
---|
131 | .RB ( \-help
|
---|
132 | and
|
---|
133 | .B \-\-help
|
---|
134 | are equivalent.)
|
