"We use APGetInfo together with pdfharmony to ensure that all our PDF files include proper metadata and meet the standards of the library system. It works much better and runs way faster than the code we wrote, and you can't beat the price." - Gina T., Access Manager |
Are your PDF files encrypted? Do you need to know what types of fonts are embedded in your PDF files? APGetInfo can provide you with the information you need.
APGetInfo is a multifunction command-line utility that retrieves information from PDF documents without Adobe Acrobat.
Execute APGetInfo from the desktop or on a server to extract the data you need from a single file, a large volume of documents, or on-demand.

- A list of Bookmarks including page numbers, and named destinations. Format the list to show or hide bookmark levels using numbers and indention, or display the full document path of each bookmark
