| 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.)
