NAME
       show-pdf-tags - show the internal Structure Tree of a tagged PDF file


SYNOPSIS
       show-pdf-tags [<options>] <PDF-File>


DESCRIPTION
       The show-pdf-tags script shows the internal Structure Tree of a tagged
       PDF File.

       The structure may be shown using an indented tree display using Unicode
       line characters, or as XML, or (primarily for debugging) as a
       linearisation of the Lua table structure obtained from the PDF file.

       The XML display will use element names matching the names of the
       structure elements unless the --map option is used, in which case the
       standard PDF Structure element names will be used, as specified in the
       role mapping in the file.

       It accepts a single PDF File and outputs to the standard output stream.

       Valid <options> are:


          --help|-h        Prints this message and exits

          --ignore-case    Ignore case when sorting directory listing

          --tree (default) Show as tree

          --xml            Show as XML

          --table          Show Lua table structure

          --map            Follow role mapping (xml printer)

          --xmp            Include XMP XML (xml printer)

          --w3c-           Add - to w3c namespaces to force browser display
