SHOW-PDF-TAGS(1)

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
