     1.5 +QPDF is a command-line program that does structural, content-preserving

     1.7  It could have been called something like pdf-to-pdf.
     1.8 -It also provides many useful capabilities to developers of PDF-producing software or for people

    1.14 -QPDF is capable of creating linearized (also known as web-optimized) files and encrypted files.
    1.15 -It is also capable of converting PDF files with object streams (also known as compressed objects)
    1.16 -to files with no compressed objects or to generate object streams from files that don't have them
    1.17 -(or even those that already do).
    1.18 -QPDF also supports a special mode designed to allow you to edit the content of PDF files in a text editor.

    1.28 -QPDF includes support for merging and splitting PDFs through the ability to copy objects from one PDF file
    1.29 -into another and to manipulate the list of pages in a PDF file.
    1.30 -The QPDF library also makes it possible for you to create PDF files from scratch. In this mode,
    1.31 -you are responsible for supplying all the contents of the file, while the QPDF library takes care off all
    1.32 -the syntactical representation of the objects, creation of cross references tables and, if you use them,

    1.44 -QPDF is not a PDF content creation library, a PDF viewer, or a program capable of converting PDF into
    1.45 -other formats. In particular, QPDF knows nothing about the semantics of PDF content streams.
    1.46 -If you are looking for something that can do that, you should look elsewhere.
    1.47 -However, once you have a valid PDF file, QPDF can be used to transform that file in ways perhaps your
    1.48 -original PDF creation can't handle.
    1.49 -For example, programs generate simple PDF files but can't password-protect them, web-optimize them,
    1.50 -or perform other transformations of that type.
