PROGRAM:

NAME


pdftosrc - extract source file or stream from PDF file

SYNOPSIS


pdftosrc PDF-file [stream-object-number]

DESCRIPTION


If only PDF-file is given as argument, pdftosrc extracts the embedded source file from the
first found stream object with /Type /SourceFile within the PDF-file and writes it to a
file with the name /SourceName as defined in that PDF stream object (see application
example below).

If both PDF-file and stream-object-number are given as arguments, and stream-object-number
is positive, pdftosrc extracts and uncompresses the PDF stream of the object given by its
stream-object-number from the PDF-file and writes it to a file named PDF-file.stream-
object-number with the ending .pdf or .PDF stripped from the original PDF-file name.

A special case is related to XRef object streams that are part of the PDF standard from
PDF-1.5 onward: If stream-object-number equals -1, then pdftosrc decompresses the XRef
stream from the PDF file and writes it in human-readable PDF cross-reference table format
to a file named PDF-file.xref (these XRef streams can not be extracted just by giving
their object number).

In any case an existing file with the output file name will be overwritten.

OPTIONS


None.
