NAME
    App::PDFUtils - Command-line utilities related to PDF files

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.003 of App::PDFUtils (from Perl
    distribution App-PDFUtils), released on 2020-02-03.

SYNOPSIS
    This distribution provides tha following command-line utilities related
    to PDF files:

    *   add-pdf-password

    *   remove-pdf-password

FUNCTIONS
  add_pdf_password
    Usage:

     add_pdf_password(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

    Password-protect PDF files.

    This program is a wrapper for qpdf to password-protect PDF files
    (in-place). This is the counterpart for remove-pdf-password.

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   backup => *bool* (default: 1)

        Whether to backup the original file to ORIG~.

    *   files* => *array[filename]*

    *   password* => *str*

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
    means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
    a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
    element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
    is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information.

    Return value: (any)

  remove_pdf_password
    Usage:

     remove_pdf_password(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

    Remove password from PDF files.

    This program is a wrapper for qpdf to remove passwords from PDF files
    (in-place).

    The motivation for this program is the increasing occurence of financial
    institutions sending financial statements or documents in the format of
    password-protected PDF file. This is annoying when we want to archive
    the file or use it in an organization because we have to remember
    different passwords for different financial institutions and re-enter
    the password everytime we want to use the file. (The banks could've sent
    the PDF in a password-protected .zip, or use PGP-encrypted email, but I
    digress.)

    You can provide the passwords to be tried in a configuration file,
    "~/remove-pdf-password.conf", e.g.:

     passwords = pass1
     passwords = pass2
     passwords = pass3

    or:

     passwords = ["pass1", "pass2", "pass3"]

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   backup => *bool* (default: 1)

        Whether to backup the original file to ORIG~.

    *   files* => *array[filename]*

    *   passwords => *array[str]*

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
    means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
    a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
    element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
    is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information.

    Return value: (any)
