NAME
       changepdfstring.pl - Search and replace in PDF metadata

SYNOPSIS
        changepdfstring.pl [options] infile.pdf search-str replace-str [outfile.pdf]

        Options:
          -o --order          preserve the internal PDF ordering for output
          -v --verbose        print diagnostic messages
          -h --help           verbose help message
          -V --version        print CAM::PDF version

DESCRIPTION
       Searches through a PDF file's metadata for instances of "search-str"
       and inserts "replace-str".  Note that this does not change the actual
       PDF page layout, but only interactive features, like forms and
       annotation.  To change page layout strings, use instead
       changepagestring.pl.

       The "search-str" can be a literal string, or it can be a Perl regular
       expression by wrapping it in "regex(...)".  For example:

         changepdfstring.pl in.pdf 'regex(CAM-PDF-(\d.\d+))' 'version=$1' out.pdf
