✨ LISTPDFFIELDS ✨

okay bestie, so the manual name is listpdffields and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection πŸ’… so if you were wondering "wait, what is this random lil script" β€” that's the vibe, she's a Perl user-contributed queen πŸŽ€

🌸 NAME 🌸

listpdffields β€” prints out the PDF form field names πŸ’– literally that's her whole job and she does it slayfully


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's how you summon her:

Options:
  -s --sort           sort the output list alphabetically
  -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
  -h --help           verbose help message
  -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

so you hand her an infile.pdf and maybe some options, and she's off ✨ the options are:

  • -s, --sort β€” sorts the output list alphabetically πŸ”€ like, alphabetized, bestie
