pdfMetaWorks.py

#! /usr/bin/env python

""" this was fixed from the previous version because pdf_meta.py had the if __name__ == '__main__': code inside the main function. That always needs to be in the document not in the function. Thanks Javantea =]
There was also a typo printmeta(filename): should be printMeta(filename): If this still throws an exception
check the indentation on the last main().
usage:
    python pdf_meta.py -F <filename> #where <filename> is your pdf, dont use <>"""
