NAME
       pdfinfo - Portable Document Format (PDF) document informa-
       tion extractor (version 2.02)

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	 /usr/local/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 configura-
       tion file commands.  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).  [config file: tex-
	      tEncoding]

       -opw password
	      Specify the owner password for the PDF file.   Pro-
	      viding  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  sys-
	      tem-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.
