NAME
pdffonts - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer (version 1.00)SYNOPSIS
pdffonts [options] [PDF-file]DESCRIPTION
Pdffonts lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file along with various information for each font.The following information is listed for each font:
- name
- the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially including a subset prefix)
- type
- the font type -- see below for details
- emb
- "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file
- sub
- "yes" if the font is a subset
- uni
- "yes" if there is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't necessarily mean that the text can't be converted to Unicode)
- object ID
- the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)
PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:
- Type 1
- Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF)
- Type 3
- TrueType
- CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type
- CID Type 0C -- 16-bit PostScript CFF font
- CID TrueType -- 16-bit TrueType font
CONFIGURATION FILE
Pdffonts 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 pdffonts is built). See the xpdfrc(5) man page for details.OPTIONS
Many of the following options can be set with configuration file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the corresponding command line option.- -f number
- Specifies the first page to analyze.
- -l number
- Specifies the last page to analyze.
- -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.)
