cpdf

> CLI to manipulate existing PDF files in a variety of ways.

Select pages 1, 2, 3 and 6 from a source document and write those to a destination document:

cpdf {path/to/source_document.pdf} {1-3,6} -o {path/to/destination_document.pdf}

Merge two documents into a new one:

cpdf -merge {path/to/source_document_one.pdf} {path/to/source_document_two.pdf} -o {path/to/destination_document.pdf}

Show the bookmarks of a document:

cpdf -list-bookmarks {path/to/document.pdf}

Split a document into ten-page chunks, writing them to `chunk001.pdf`, `chunk002.pdf`, etc:

cpdf -split {path/to/document.pdf} -o {path/to/chunk%%%.pdf} -chunk {10}

Encrypt a document using 128bit encryption, providing `fred` as owner password and `joe` as user password:

cpdf -encrypt {128bit} {fred} {joe} {path/to/source_document.pdf} -o {path/to/encrypted_document.pdf}

Decrypt a document using the owner password `fred`:

cpdf -decrypt {path/to/encrypted_document.pdf} owner={fred} -o {path/to/decrypted_document.pdf}

Show the annotations of a document:

cpdf -list-annotations {path/to/document.pdf}

Create a new document from an existing one with additional metadata:

cpdf -set-metadata {path/to/metadata.xml} {path/to/source_document.pdf} -o {path/to/destination_document.pdf}
