PDFGears

PDFGears is a handy tool that lets you dig into the details of any PDF file. It creates a neat tree structure of the document, showing all its parts and even lists out XREF tables. With this software, you can easily check out the document tree schema, breaking down elements by pages, fonts, and images.

Explore PDF Elements

This software makes it super easy to view metadata for each PDF element—like objects, identifiers, or types. You can create links to specific objects and see how they connect with other parts of the document. Plus, you'll get syntax highlighting for page content along with short descriptions to help you understand what you're looking at.

User-Friendly Layout

The layout of PDFGears is simple and organized into three columns: on the left side is the document hierarchy tree, on the right are the XREF tables, and in the center is where you’ll find the actual content of your PDF. This setup allows you to view all objects, IDs, and types at a glance while also giving you access to page lists, fonts used, and images included.

Dive Into Details

When analyzing each element in your PDF, you'll find info like HEX codes, stream lengths, types or subtypes, metadata formats, IDs, and URLs. Each object shows different parameters that you can easily check out. You can also see how many pages there are along with an overall list of contents—including classes and parent-child relationships.

Font and Image Inspection

You’re not just limited to text; this software helps inspect fonts too! Check out file formats, encoding styles, character ranges—and see if there are any Unicode elements involved. Plus, if your PDF has images? No problem! You can extract them all under one tab or export them directly to your local files.

Advanced Features

With PDFGears, you'll also be able to analyze advanced features like AES 256 encryption for PDFs. It allows you to look at every little detail in your file while generating error/warning logs when necessary. You'll get descriptions for each command or element within a PDF so that copying strings to your clipboard is a breeze!
