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	Porta-
       ble Document Format (PDF) file.

OPTIONS
       Some  of  the following options can be set with configuration file com-
       mands.  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 asso-
	      ciated with the  embedded  files	(as  printed  by  the  "-list"
	      switch).	 By default, the files are saved in the current direc-
	      tory; 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.)
