NAME

pdfresurrect - tool for extracting/scrubbing versioning data from PDF documents

SYNOPSIS

pdfresurrect file.pdf [-w][-q][-s]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pdfresurrect command.

pdfresurrect is a tool for extracting/scrubbing versioning data from PDF documents.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.
-w
Write the PDF versions and summary to disk.
-q
Display only the number of versions contained in the PDF.
-s
Scrub the previous history data from the specified PDF.

NOTES

The scrubbing feature (-s) should not be trusted for any serious security uses. After using this feature, please verify that it in fact zero'd all of the objects that were of concern (those objects that were to be zero'd).

This tool relies on the application reading the pdfresurrect extracted versions to treat the last xref(cross-reference) table as the most recent in the document. This should typically be the case.

The verbose output, which tries to deduce the PDF object type (e.g. stream, page), is not always accurate, and the object counts might not be 100% accurate. However, this should not prevent the extraction of the versions. This output is merely to provide a hint for the user as to what might be different between the documents.
