NAME
    pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document information extractor
    (version 2.01)

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:

    page count
    encrypted flag (yes/no)
    print and copy permissions (if encrypted)
    linearized (yes/no)

CONFIGURATION FILE
    Pdfinfo reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find
    the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it
    looks for a system-wide config file, typically /etc/xpdfrc (but this
    location can be changed when pdfinfo is built). See the xpdfrc(5) man
    page for details.

OPTIONS
    Many of  the following options can be set with configuration file com-
    mands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
    corresponding command line option.

    -meta Prints document-level metadata. (This is the "Metadata" stream
    from the PDF file's Catalog object.)

    -enc encoding-name
    Sets the encoding to use for text output.  The  encoding-name
    must be defined  with the unicodeMap command (see xpdfrc(5)).
    This defaults to "Latin1" (which is a built-in encoding).  [con-
    fig file: textEncoding]

    -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.

    -cfg config-file
    Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config
    file.

    -v   Print copyright and version information.

    -h   Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)

EXIT CODES
    The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

    0   No error.

    1   Error opening a PDF file.

    2   Error opening an output file.

    3   Error related to PDF permissions.

    99   Other error.
