changepdfstring.pl - Search and replace in PDF metadata
changepdfstring.pl [options] infile.pdf search-str replace-str [outfile.pdf] Options: -o --order preserve the internal PDF ordering for output -v --verbose print diagnostic messages -h --help verbose help message -V --version print CAM::PDF version
Searches through a PDF file's metadata for instances of search-str and inserts replace-str. Note that this does not change the actual PDF page layout, but only interactive features, like forms and annotation. To change page layout strings, use instead changepagestring.pl.
search-str
replace-str
The search-str can be a literal string, or it can be a Perl regular expression by wrapping it in regex(...). For example:
regex(...)
changepdfstring.pl in.pdf 'regex(CAM-PDF-(\d.\d+))' 'version=$1' out.pdf
CAM::PDF
changepagestring.pl
