<summary>Structural, content-preserving transformations on PDF files</summary>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<p> QPDF is a command-line program that does structural, content-preserving transformations on PDF files.
|
|
It could have been called something like pdf-to-pdf.
|
|
It also provides many useful capabilities to developers of PDF-producing software or for people
|
|
who just want to look at the innards of a PDF file to learn more about how they work.</p>
|
|
<p> QPDF is capable of creating linearized (also known as web-optimized) files and encrypted files.
|
|
It is also capable of converting PDF files with object streams (also known as compressed objects)
|
|
to files with no compressed objects or to generate object streams from files that don't have them
|
|
(or even those that already do). QPDF also supports a special mode designed to allow you to edit
|
|
the content of PDF files in a text editor. For more details, please see the documentation links
|
|
below.</p>
|
|
<p> QPDF includes support for merging and splitting PDFs through the ability to copy objects from one PDF
|
|
file into another and to manipulate the list of pages in a PDF file. The QPDF library also makes
|
|
it possible for you to create PDF files from scratch. In this mode, you are responsible for
|
|
supplying all the contents of the file, while the QPDF library takes care off all the syntactical
|
|
representation of the objects, creation of cross references tables and, if you use them, object
|
|
streams, encryption, linearization, and other syntactic details.</p>
|
|
<p>QPDF is not a PDF content creation library, a PDF viewer, or a program capable of converting PDF into
|
|
other formats. In particular, QPDF knows nothing about the semantics of PDF content streams.
|
|
If you are looking for something that can do that, you should look elsewhere.
|
|
However, once you have a valid PDF file, QPDF can be used to transform that file in ways perhaps
|
|
your original PDF creation can't handle. For example, programs generate simple PDF files but
|
|
can't password-protect them, web-optimize them, or perform other transformations of that type.</p>
