| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | uni "yes" if there is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file
|
|---|
| 27 | (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't necessarily mean that

| 53 | CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|---|
| 54 | Pdffonts reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find
|
|---|
| 55 | the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it
|
|---|
| 56 | looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
|
|---|
| 57 | (but this location can be changed when pdffonts is built). See the
|
|---|
| 58 | xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | OPTIONS

|
|---|

|
|---|
