NAME
       pdffonts  - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer
       (version 2.03)

SYNOPSIS
       pdffonts [options] [PDF-file]

DESCRIPTION
       Pdffonts lists the fonts used  in  a  Portable  Document
       Format  (PDF)  file  along  with various information for
       each font.

       The following information is listed for each font:

       name   the font name, exactly as given in the  PDF  file
              (potentially including a subset prefix)

       type   the font type -- see below for details

       emb    "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file

       sub    "yes" if the font is a subset

       uni    "yes"  if there is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in
              the PDF file (the  absence  of  a  ToUnicode  map
              doesn't  necessarily  mean that the text can't be
              converted to Unicode)

       object ID
              the font dictionary object ID (number and genera-
              tion)

       PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:

              Type 1
              Type 1C -- aka Compact Font Format (CFF)
              Type 3
              TrueType
              CID Type 0 -- 16-bit font with no specified type
              CID Type 0C -- 16-bit PostScript CFF font
              CID TrueType -- 16-bit TrueType font

CONFIGURATION FILE
       Pdffonts  reads  a  configuration  file  at startup.  It
       first tries to find  the  user's  private  config  file,
       ~/.xpdfrc.   If  that doesn't exist, it looks for a sys-
       tem-wide config  file,  typically  /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
       (but  this  location  can  be  changed  when pdffonts is
       built).  See the xpdfrc(5) man page for details.

OPTIONS
       Many of the following options can be set with configura-
       tion file commands.  These are listed in square brackets
       with the description of the corresponding  command  line
       option.

       -f number
              Specifies the first page to analyze.

       -l number
              Specifies the last page to analyze.

       -opw password
              Specify  the  owner  password  for  the PDF file.
              Providing this will bypass all security  restric-
              tions.

       -upw password
              Specify the user password for the PDF file.

       -cfg config-file
              Read  config-file  in  place  of ~/.xpdfrc or the
              system-wide config file.

       -v     Print copyright and version information.

       -h     Print usage information.  (-help and  --help  are
              equivalent.)

EXIT CODES
       The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

       0      No error.

       1      Error opening a PDF file.

       2      Error opening an output file.
