💖 PDFINFO(1p) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🎀 this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it's a little script called pdfinfo.cam-pdf.pl that tells you stuff about your PDFs. that's it. that's the whole job. and it EATS. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pdfinfo.cam-pdf.pl — Print information about PDF file(s) 🦋

like... the name is the vibe. it prints info. about PDFs. no notes. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pdfinfo.cam-pdf.pl [options] file.pdf [file.pdf ...]

Options:
  -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
  -h --help           verbose help message
  -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

so you run it, you hand it one PDF, or honestly as many PDFs as your little heart desires (file.pdf [file.pdf ...] — yes bestie, it's plural-friendly 💖), and you can sprinkle in some options if you want. look at those options go ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Prints to STDOUT various basic details about the specified PDF file(s).

that's the whole thing fr fr 😭 it reads your PDF(s), it prints the basic deets straight to STDOUT, and you go "oh slay, that's what was in there." no cap, it's giving "just the facts, but make it terminal." 🌈

not me being obsessed with a script that literally just tells you about your PDFs 💀 but like... reliable. iconic. main character energy. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🦋 this beauty shipped with perl v5.36.0 and was dated 2022-12-08 — so when you see it in the wild, you know exactly which era of perl you're vibing with ✨ 💖🌸🎀🫶
