QPDF
QPDF is a C++ library and set of programs that inspect and
manipulate the structure of PDF files. It can encrypt and linearize
files, expose the internals of a PDF file, and do many other operations
useful to end users and PDF developers.
This software performs structural, content-preserving
transformations
on PDF files. It could have been called something like
pdf-to-pdf. It also provides many useful capabilities to
developers of PDF-producing software or for people who just want to
look at the innards of a PDF file to learn more about how they work.
