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 Portable Document Format
       (PDF) file.

OPTIONS
       Some of the following options can be set with configuration file commands.  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.

       -savefile filename
              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 associated with the embedded
              files (as printed by the "-list" switch).  By default, the files are saved in the cur‐
              rent directory; 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.)
