cpdf: Show the annotations of a document.
$ cpdf -list-annotations ${path-to-document-pdf}
try on your machine

The command "cpdf -list-annotations ${path-to-document-pdf}" is used to retrieve a list of annotations present in a PDF document.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "cpdf" is the name of the PDF command-line tool being used. It is used to manipulate PDF files.
  • "-list-annotations" is an option or argument provided to the "cpdf" tool. This option tells the tool to list all annotations found in the specified PDF document.
  • "${path-to-document-pdf}" is a placeholder for the actual file path of the PDF document. You need to replace it with the appropriate location of the PDF file on your computer.

When you execute this command, the "cpdf" tool will read the PDF document specified by the file path and then display information about the annotations contained within the PDF file. This information can include details like annotation types, positions, contents, and other attributes associated with each annotation.
