SYNOPSIS

9       pdffonts [options] [PDF-file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Pdffonts  lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file
13       along with various information for each font.
14
15       The following information is listed for each font:
16
17       name   the font name, exactly as given in  the  PDF  file  (potentially
18              including a subset prefix)
19
20       type   the font type -- see below for details
21
22       emb    "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file
23
24       sub    "yes" if the font is a subset
25
26       uni    "yes"  if  there  is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file
27              (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't  necessarily  mean  that
28              the text can't be converted to Unicode)
29
30       object ID
31              the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)
32
33       PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:
34
35              Type 1
36              Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF)
37              Type 3
38              TrueType
39              CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type
40              CID Type 0C -- 16-bit PostScript CFF font
41              CID TrueType -- 16-bit TrueType font
42

CONFIGURATION FILE

44       Pdffonts reads a configuration file at startup.  It first tries to find
45       the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc.  If that doesn't  exist,  it
46       looks  for  a  system-wide  config  file,  /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc.   See  the
47       xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
48

OPTIONS

50       Many of the following options can be set with configuration  file  com‐
51       mands.  These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
52       corresponding command line option.
53
54       -f number
55              Specifies the first page to analyze.
56
57       -l number
58              Specifies the last page to analyze.
59
60       -opw password
61              Specify the owner password for the  PDF  file.   Providing  this
62              will bypass all security restrictions.
63
64       -upw password
65              Specify the user password for the PDF file.
66
67       -cfg config-file
68              Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config
69              file.
70
71       -v     Print copyright and version information.
72
73       -h     Print usage information.  (-help and --help are equivalent.)
