User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨ welcome to the group chat, this is the page for readpdf 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

readpdf</purpose> — read a PDF document 📄💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

readpdf [options] file.pdf

Options:
  -d --decode         uncompress internal PDF components
  -p --pass           prompt for a user password if needed
  -v --verbose        print the internal representation of the PDF
  -h --help           verbose help message
  -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

okay so you literally just hand it a file.pdf and it does its thing 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So basically, readpdf slurps a PDF document into memory, and if you want, it'll dump out its internal representation for you too. 👑

It's primarily useful for debugging — like, that's its main character moment fr fr — but it can also be a way to validate a PDF document. Vibe check your PDFs, bestie. 🌈
