The options \-listenc, \-meta, \-js, \-struct, and \-struct-text only print the requested information. The 'Info' dictionary and related data listed above is not printed. At most one of these five options may be used.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-f " number"
Specifies the first page to examine.  If multiple pages are requested
using the "\-f" and "\-l" options, the size of each requested page (and,
optionally, the bounding boxes for each requested page) are printed.
Otherwise, only page one is examined.
.TP
.BI \-l " number"
Specifies the last page to examine.
.TP
.B \-box
Prints the page box bounding boxes: MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox,
TrimBox, and ArtBox.
.TP

the PDF file's Catalog object.)
.TP

.TP

Prints all JavaScript in the PDF.
.TP
.B \-struct
Prints the logical document structure of a Tagged-PDF file.

.TP
.B \-url
Print all URLs in the PDF. Only the URL types supported by Poppler are listed.
Currently, this is limited to Annotations. Note: only URLs referenced by the PDF objects

matching http://... from the text content.

.TP
.B \-listenc
