| 27 | In addition, the following information is printed:

|
|---|
| 30 | form (AcroForm / static XFA / dynamic XFA / none)

|
|---|
| 40 | CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|---|
| 41 | Pdfinfo reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find
|
|---|
| 42 | the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it
|
|---|
| 43 | looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
|
|---|
| 44 | (but this location can be changed when pdfinfo is built). See the
|
|---|
| 45 | xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | OPTIONS
|
|---|
| 48 | Many of the following options can be set with configuration file com-
|
|---|
| 49 | mands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
|
|---|
| 50 | corresponding command line option.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | -f number
|
|---|
| 53 | Specifies the first page to examine. If multiple pages are
|
|---|
| 54 | requested using the "-f" and "-l" options, the size of each
|
|---|
| 55 | requested page (and, optionally, the bounding boxes for each
|
|---|
| 56 | requested page) are printed. Otherwise, only page one is exam-
|
|---|
| 57 | ined.
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | -l number
|
|---|
| 60 | Specifies the last page to examine.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | -box Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox,
|
|---|
| 63 | TrimBox, and ArtBox.
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | -meta Prints document-level metadata. (This is the "Metadata" stream
|
|---|
| 66 | from the PDF file's Catalog object.)
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | -rawdates
|
|---|
| 69 | Prints the raw (undecoded) date strings, directly from the PDF
|
|---|
| 70 | file.
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | -enc encoding-name
|
|---|
| 73 | Sets the encoding to use for text output. The encoding-name
|
|---|
| 74 | must be defined with the unicodeMap command (see xpdfrc(5)).
|
|---|
| 75 | This defaults to "Latin1" (which is a built-in encoding). [con-
|
|---|
| 76 | fig file: textEncoding]
|
|---|
| 77 |
|
|---|
| 78 | -opw password
|
|---|
| 79 | Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this
|
|---|
| 80 | will bypass all security restrictions.
|
|---|
| 81 |
|
|---|
| 82 | -upw password
|
|---|
| 83 | Specify the user password for the PDF file.
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | -cfg config-file
|
|---|
| 86 | Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config
|
|---|
| 87 | file.
|
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 | -v Print copyright and version information.
|
|---|
| 90 |
|
|---|
| 91 | -h Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)
|
|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|

|---|
| 94 | The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:
