NAME

   pdfdetach  -  Portable  Document  Format  (PDF)  document embedded file
   extractor (version 3.03)

SYNOPSIS

   pdfdetach [options] [PDF-file]

DESCRIPTION

   Pdfdetach  lists  or  extracts  embedded  files  (attachments)  from  a
   Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

OPTIONS

   Some  of  the  following  options  can  be  set with configuration file
   commands.  These are listed in square brackets with the description  of
   the corresponding command line option.

   -list  List  all of the embedded files in the PDF file.  File names are
          converted to the text encoding specified by the "-enc" switch.

   -save number
          Save the specified embedded file.  By  default,  this  uses  the
          file  name  associated with the embedded file (as printed by the
          "-list" switch); the file name can  be  changed  with  the  "-o"
          switch.

   -saveall
          Save  all  of  the  embedded  files.   This  uses the file names
          associated with the embedded files (as printed  by  the  "-list"
          switch).   By  default,  the  files  are  saved  in  the current
          directory; this can be changed with the "-o" switch.

   -o path
          Set the file name used when saving an  embedded  file  with  the
          "-save" switch, or the directory used by "-saveall".

   -enc encoding-name
          Sets  the encoding to use for text output (embedded file names).
          This defaults to "UTF-8".

   -opw password
          Specify the owner password for the  PDF  file.   Providing  this
          will bypass all security restrictions.

   -upw password
          Specify the user password for the PDF file.

   -v     Print copyright and version information.

   -h     Print usage information.  (-help and --help are equivalent.)
