It does these and other structural, content-preserving +transformations on PDF files, reading a PDF file as input and +creating a new one as output. 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. + +QPDF understands PDF files that use compressed object streams +(supported by newer PDF applications) and can convert such files into +those that can be read with older viewers. It can also be used for +checking PDF files for structural errors, inspecting stream contents, +or extracting objects from PDF files. QPDF is not PDF content +creation or viewing software -- it does not have the capability to +create PDF files from scratch or to display PDF files. + +WWW: http://qpdf.sourceforge.net |
