I am currently into PDF “reading”, and this software looks rather promising.
There are also a couple of nice command line utilities in the TAR ball’s bin/ subdirectory.
- appendpdf.pl
- asciify
- changepagestring.pl
- changepdfstring.pl
- changerefkeys.pl
- crunchjpg_tmpl.pdf
- crunchjpgs.pl
- deillustrate.pl
- deletepdfpage.pl
- extractallimages.pl
- extractjpgs.pl
- fillpdffields.pl
- getpdffontobject.pl
- getpdfpage.pl
- getpdfpageobject.pl
- getpdftext.pl
- listfonts.pl
- listimages.pl
- listpdffields.pl – sic!!! – I adapted that a little, now it shows page num. (with a little extra help from Chris Dolan) and the position for each field
- pdfinfo.pl
- readpdf.pl – shows you the PDF data structure as perl data dump
- renderpdf.pl
- replacepdfobj.pl
- revertpdf.pl
- rewritepdf.pl
- setpdfbackground.pl
- setpdfpage.pl
- stamppdf.pl
- uninlinepdfimages.pl
Of course, they all use /usr/bin/perl and not /usr/local/perlbrew/bin/perl, and I am currently still into perlbrew., so how would I replace all these occurrences?
That reminded me of that fixin utility from the very old days, which updates the #! (“shebang”) line appropriately.
