GETPDFFONTOBJECT(1)

📦 version 1.60, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this page is GETPDFFONTOBJECT(1) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page — and the script itself is getpdffontobject.pl. It prints the PDF form field names. No cap, that's the whole NAME vibe. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

getpdffontobject.pl [options] infile.pdf pagenum fontname

Options, bestie:

  • -v, --verbose — prints diagnostic messages
  • -h, --help — gives a verbose help message
  • -V, --version — prints the CAM::PDF version

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this script retrieves the font metadata from the PDF. That's literally its main character task. 💅

If --verbose is specified, the memory representation is dumped to STDOUT. Otherwise, the program silently returns success or emits a failure message to STDERR. Quiet success, dramatic only when it has to be. 😭

The leading / on the fontname argument is optional. Yes, optional — you can leave it off. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • CAM::PDF
