OPTIONS

17       Some  of  the following options can be set with configuration file com‐
18       mands.  These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
19       corresponding command line option.
20
21       -list  List  all of the embedded files in the PDF file.  File names are
22              converted to the text encoding specified by the "-enc" switch.
23
24       -save number
25              Save the specified embedded file.  By  default,  this  uses  the
26              file  name  associated with the embedded file (as printed by the
27              "-list" switch); the file name can  be  changed  with  the  "-o"
28              switch.
29
30       -saveall
31              Save  all of the embedded files.  This uses the file names asso‐
32              ciated with the  embedded  files  (as  printed  by  the  "-list"
33              switch).   By default, the files are saved in the current direc‐
34              tory; this can be changed with the "-o" switch.
35
36       -o path
37              Set the file name used when saving an  embedded  file  with  the
38              "-save" switch, or the directory used by "-saveall".
39
40       -enc encoding-name
41              Sets  the encoding to use for text output (embedded file names).
42              This defaults to "UTF-8".
43
44       -opw password
45              Specify the owner password for the  PDF  file.   Providing  this
46              will bypass all security restrictions.
47
48       -upw password
49              Specify the user password for the PDF file.
50
51       -v     Print copyright and version information.
52
53       -h     Print usage information.  (-help and --help are equivalent.)
