PDFspy serves as the premier utility for obtaining detailed information about your PDF files. It has the capability to extract a thorough array of attributes from a PDF document and convert them into an XML-based format. It supports PDF 1.7/ISO 32000 standards, including versions from Acrobat 9 through DC. The latest update introduces the Element feature, which displays CMYK separations utilized by both text and vector elements. Additionally, a new feature has been added to indicate the total number of shading objects present in a PDF file. If the -o option is not employed, a restored output will be sent to stdout, and it is advisable to use the -quiet option for writing to stdout. The calculation of page labels has been corrected, and there is now an enhanced algorithm for extracting text. Furthermore, it computes color simulation values for ICCBased, separation, and DeviceN color spaces, while also improving support for Unicode, ISO Latin, and the AdobePDF character sets. The utility now offers insights into font usage, including details on name, type, embedding and subset status, as well as Unicode utilization. It features an asset management system that allows users to extract page counts, metadata, and font and image details. Moreover, PDFspy includes document management capabilities to identify text or image-only documents and to extract comments, making it an invaluable tool for anyone working with PDF files. This comprehensive functionality makes PDFspy essential for effective PDF document analysis and management.
