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 current 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.)
