CHANGEREFKEYS(1)

CHANGEREFKEYS(1) 💖✨

okay bestie, welcome to the changerefkeys.pl page 🫶 the manual title is CHANGEREFKEYS(1), and it lives under User Contributed Perl Documentation — very “I am a niche manual page and I know it” energy. This one is a very low-level PDF thing, so buckle up 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

changerefkeys.pl — search and replace PDF object numbers in the Trailer. That’s the whole name, no cap 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

        changerefkeys.pl [options] infile.pdf old-objnum new-objnum
                         [old-objnum new-objnum ...] [outfile.pdf]

        Options:
          -o --order          preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
          -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
          -h --help           verbose help message
          -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

Lowkey the options are giving:

• -o, --order — preserve the internal PDF ordering for output. Keep the order, bestie 💅
• -v, --verbose — print diagnostic messages. Receipts! 🧾
• -h, --help — verbose help message. The help, but extra.
• -V, --version — print CAM::PDF version. Yup, that version.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Changes a PDF to alter the object numbers in the PDF Trailer. The resulting edited PDF is output to a specified file or STDOUT ✨

⚠️ Warning, bestie: this is a very low-level utility, and it is not likely useful for general users — fr fr, it’s giving deep-magic-only. If you’re a general user, this probably isn’t your main character moment, and that’s okay 🫶
