## 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
              encoding specified by the "-enc" switch.

### -save
              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
              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
              Set the file name used when saving an embedded file with the "-save"  switch,  or  the
              directory used by "-saveall".

### -enc
              Sets  the  encoding  to  use  for text output (embedded file names).  This defaults to
              "UTF-8".

              Specify the owner password for the PDF file.  Providing this will bypass all  security
              restrictions.
