+ .. help: serialize to JSON
+
+ Shortcut for options useful for serializing PDF to JSON:
+ --json=latest --json-stream-data=inline
+ --json-key=qpdf --decode-level=none
+
+ This option is a shorthand for
+ ``--json=latest --json-stream-data=inline --json-key=qpdf --decode-level=none``.
+ These are good options for serializing a PDF to JSON in manner that
+ allows qpdf to read it back in. You can override any of these
+ options by specifying other options after them.
