Example

Let's extract JavaScript contained in the pdf1.pdf file:

$ ./pdfextract -j /data/tmp/pdf1.pdf 
Extracted 1 scripts to 'pdf1.dump/scripts'.

The JavaScript has been dumped to the "pdf1.dump/scripts/" directory:

$ cat pdf1.dump/scripts/script_576906449.js 
function re(count,what) 
{
var v = "";
while (--count >= 0) 
v += what;
return v;
}
