The command "pdfinfo" is a command-line tool used to retrieve information about a PDF file.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "pdfinfo": This is the actual command that executes the "pdfinfo" tool.
- "-upw": It is an option used to specify the password necessary to unlock/decrypt the PDF file. The "${password}" is a placeholder, and you need to replace it with the actual password.
- "${filename-pdf}": This is also a placeholder that represents the name of the PDF file you want to extract information from. You need to replace it with the actual filename, including the ".pdf" extension.
To use this command, you will need to open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where the PDF file is located, and then replace the placeholders with the appropriate values before executing the command.
