REPLACEPDFOBJ(1p)

💖 REPLACEPDFOBJ 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to replacepdfobj — it's a section 1p page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and no cap, it is a whole mood. It's giving "tiny little command, big little job." Let's get into it. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

replacepdfobj — literally copies a metadata object from one PDF to another. That's the whole thing. That's the assignment. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

replacepdfobj [options] mainfile.pdf objnum objfile.pdf objnum [outfile.pdf]\n";

(yeah the \n"; at the end is really in there, we don't ask questions, we respect the source 💀)

Options:

• -f, --follow — copy the referenced objects too, like you're bringing the whole friend group along 🫶
• -o, --order — preserve the internal PDF ordering for the output, because sometimes the order is the vibe 🌈
• -v, --verbose — print diagnostic messages, aka it will actually tell you what it's doing 📢
• -h, --help — a verbose help message, because you deserve the long version 💜
• -V, --version — print the CAM::PDF version ⭐

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea 🍓: this command copies an object — and perhaps it's referenced children — from one PDF to another.

lowkey important: this is a rather low-level utility that will not be of interest to most users. bestie, if that's you, that's not a read, that's just the docs being honest with us 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• CAM::PDF — the main character, the origin story, go look at it ✨

💜 AUTHOR 💜

See CAM::PDF. (short and sweet, we love a delegation moment)

and that's the page, bestie!! 🎀 this one came from perl v5.36.0, dated 2022-12-08, and it's the REPLACEPDFOBJ(1p) manual page — slay, no notes, periodt 💅✨
