The command "cpdf -list-bookmarks ${path-to-document-pdf}" is used to list the bookmarks contained in a PDF document.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. "cpdf" is the name of the command-line tool being used. It stands for "Coherent PDF Command Line Tools". This tool allows you to manipulate and work with PDF documents from the command line.

  2. "-list-bookmarks" is an argument passed to the "cpdf" tool. It instructs the tool to list all the bookmarks present in the specified PDF document.

  3. "${path-to-document-pdf}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the PDF document on your system. You need to replace it with the correct path to the PDF file you want to analyze.

By running this command, you will get a list of all the bookmarks found in the specified PDF document, which can help you navigate through different sections or chapters within the document more easily.
