GETPDFPAGEOBJECT(1p)

✨ GETPDFPAGEOBJECT ✨

ok so like. this is the manual page for getpdfpageobject(1p) and bestie it is SO much simpler than it sounds, i promise 🫶 it's a lil command that pulls the page metadata out of a PDF, that's it, that's the whole vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

getpdfpageobject — print the PDF page metadata 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

getpdfpageobject [options] infile.pdf pagenum

Options:
  -d --decode         uncompress any elements
  -c --content        show the page Contents field only
  -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
  -h --help           verbose help message
  -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

like. two positional args and a lil pile of flags. iconic. you hand it a PDF file and a page number and it goes off 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically it retrieves the page metadata from the PDF. that's the whole job. very demure, very mindful 😌

Now here's the tea on how it talks back to you: if --verbose is specified, the memory representation is dumped to STDOUT. otherwise the program is lowkey silent — it just silently returns success, or it emits a failure message to STDERR if things go sideways 💀 so if you're sitting there like "why is nothing printing" that's not a bug bestie that's the design.

heads up: no --verbose means no dump. the quiet is intentional. don't @ me.
