## NAME
       pdffonts - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer (version 3.03)

## SYNOPSIS
       **pdffonts** [options] [_PDF-file_]

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

       If _PDF-file_ is ´-', it reads the PDF file from stdin.

       The following information is listed for each font:

       **name**   the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially including a  subset  pre‐
              fix)

       **type**   the font type – see below for details

### encoding
              the font encoding

       **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 ToUni‐
              code map doesn't necessarily mean that the text can't be converted to Unicode)

### object ID
              the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)

       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

## OPTIONS
### -f
              Specifies the first page to analyze.

### -l
              Specifies the last page to analyze.

### -subst

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

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

### -v

### -h -help --help
