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 configuration file com-
|
||
|
|
mands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
|
||
|
|
corresponding command line option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-f number
|
||
|
|
Specifies the first page to examine. If multiple pages are
|
||
|
|
requested using the "-f" and "-l" options, the size of each
|
||
|
|
requested page (and, optionally, the bounding boxes for each
|
||
|
|
requested page) are printed. Otherwise, only page one is exam-
|
||
|
|
ined.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-l number
|
||
|
|
Specifies the last page to examine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-box Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox,
|
||
|
|
TrimBox, and ArtBox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-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.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
