.TH PDFTOSRC 1 "July 2004" "Debian/GNU Linux"
.SH NAME
pdftosrc \- extracts the TeX source code out of pdf-Files.
.SH SYNOPSIS
pdftosrc \fI<PDF-file>\fR \fI[<stream-object-number>]\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pdftosrc
is a small program, to extract the source code of TeX-files out
of PDF-files, generated using \fBpdfLaTeX\fR.
To make that happen the TeX sources have to put into the pdf-file.
The parts of the sources (or the complete source
code) will be declared as separate pdf-objects and -streams.
.br
On http://www.tug.org.in/download/pdf2tex.pdf you can download a
pdf-file, which contains it's own LaTeX source code. It displays
just 3 mathematical equations. Stream 1 contains the complete TeX
source code, Stream 2-4 contain the code of the 3 equations.
