	      tagged (yes/no)
	      form (AcroForm / XFA / none)
	      javascript (yes/no)
	      page count
	      encrypted flag (yes/no)
	      print and copy permissions (if encrypted)

OPTIONS
       -f number
	      Specifies  the  first  page  to  examine.  If multiple pages are

	      requested  page  (and,  optionally,  the bounding boxes for each
	      requested page) are printed.  Otherwise, only page one is  exam-
	      ined.
