[Feature Request]: PDF scan/check/info function

Open hubdows opened this issue 3 weeks ago • 0 comments

Feature Description

Hello, I really like StirlingPDF. I work with a lot of PDF files, and the one thing that I really need is a scanner to check the health of a PDF and output some quick information. Similar the Get Info command, but also check the health and readability and suggest repair or compression.

Information I would like to are:

  • PDF Health, is it corrupted, unreadable, any other issues
  • Does the PDF contain scripts or files
  • Is the PDF password protected
  • Is the PDF encrypted
  • Can/should the PDF be repaired
  • Can/should the PDF be compressed
  • Can/should the PDF be OCR'd

Thank you.

Why is this feature valuable?

I am trying to automate my workflow by not having to open and inspect every PDF. A scanner/checker would really help my project along.

Suggested Implementation

This may just be a batch command grouping several other commands together, but it doesn't seem like there is a tool that can just check the health of a PDF or group of PDF's for corruption, errors or readability.
