              W  : rotate 270 degrees.
              N  : rotate 0 degree.
              L  : rotate counterclockwise.

   pdftoolbox in.pdf -split -outfile out_%04d.pdf

Blast a multip-page PDF file into several encrypted single-page PDF files,
denying low-quality printing:
   pdftoolbox in.pdf -split -ownerpassword foopass -permit lowprinting

Extract meta info from input PDF file to the given output file:
   pdftoolbox in.pdf -getinfo -outfile report.txt

Rotate the first PDF page clockwise:
