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       -savefile filename
31              Save  the  specified  embedded  file.  By default, this uses the
32              file name associated with the embedded file (as printed  by  the
33              "-list"  switch);  the  file  name  can be changed with the "-o"
34              switch.
35
36       -saveall
37              Save all of the embedded files.  This uses the file names  asso‐
38              ciated  with  the  embedded  files  (as  printed  by the "-list"
39              switch).  By default, the files are saved in the current  direc‐
40              tory; this can be changed with the "-o" switch.
41
42       -o path
43              Set  the  file  name  used when saving an embedded file with the
44              "-save" switch, or the directory used by "-saveall".
45
46       -enc encoding-name
47              Sets the encoding to use for text output (embedded file  names).
48              This defaults to "UTF-8".
49
50       -opw password
51              Specify  the  owner  password  for the PDF file.  Providing this
52              will bypass all security restrictions.
53
54       -upw password
55              Specify the user password for the PDF file.
56
57       -v     Print copyright and version information.
