NAME
show-pdf-tags - show the internal Structure Tree of a tagged PDF file
SYNOPSIS
show-pdf-tags [<options>] <PDF-File>
DESCRIPTION
The show-pdf-tags script shows the internal Structure Tree of a tagged PDF File.
The structure may be shown using an indented tree display using Unicode line characters, or as XML, or (primarily for debugging) as a linearisation of the Lua table structure obtained from the PDF file.
The XML display will use element names matching the names of the structure elements unless the --map option is used, in which case the standard PDF Structure element names will be used, as specified in the role mapping in the file.
It accepts a single PDF File and outputs to the standard output stream.
Valid <options> are:
- --help|-h Prints this message and exits
- --ignore-case Ignore case when sorting directory listing
- --tree (default) Show as tree
- --xml Show as XML
- --table Show Lua table structure
- --map Follow role mapping (xml printer)
- --xmp Include XMP XML (xml printer)
- --w3c- Add - to w3c namespaces to force browser display
