SYNOPSIS

-V --version print CAM::PDF version

DESCRIPTION

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.

The "search-str" can be a literal string, or it can be a Perl regular expression by wrapping it in "regex(...)". For example:

  changepdfstring.pl in.pdf 'regex(CAM-PDF-(\d.\d+))' 'version=$1' out.pdf
