12 !!NAME

14
15 pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor (version 1.00)
16 !!SYNOPSIS
17
18
19 __pdfimages__ [[options] ''PDF-file
20 image-root''
21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 __Pdfimages__ saves images from a Portable Document
25 Format (PDF) file as Portable Pixmap (PPM), Portable Bitmap
26 (PBM), or JPEG files.
27
28
29 Pdfimages reads the PDF file, scans one or more pages,
30 ''PDF-file'', and writes one PPM, PBM, or JPEG file for
31 each image, ''image-root''-''nnn''.''xxx'', where
32 ''nnn'' is the image number and ''xxx'' is the image
33 type (.ppm, .pbm, .jpg).
34 !!CONFIGURATION FILE
35
36
37 Pdfimages reads a configuration file at startup. It first
38 tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If
39 that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file,
40 typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be
41 changed when pdfimages is built). See the xpdfrc(5)
42 man page for details.
43 !!OPTIONS
44
45
46 Many of the following options can be set with configuration
47 file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the
48 description of the corresponding command line
49 option.
50
51
52 __-f__ ''number''
53
54
55 Specifies the first page to scan.
56
57
58 __-l__ ''number''
59
60
61 Specifies the last page to scan.
62
63
64 __-j__
65
66
67 Normally, all images are written as PBM (for monochrome
68 images) or PPM (for non-monochrome images) files. With this
69 option, images in DCT format are saved as JPEG files. All
70 non-DCT images are saved in PBM/PPM format as
71 usual.
72
73
74 __-opw__ ''password''
75
76
77 Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this
78 will bypass all security restrictions.
79
80
81 __-upw__ ''password''
82
83
84 Specify the user password for the PDF file.
85
86
87 __-q__
88
89
90 Don't print any messages or errors. [[config file:
91 __errQuiet__]
92
93
94 __-v__
95
96
97 Print copyright and version information.
98
99
100 __-h__
101
102
103 Print usage information. (__-help__ and __--help__ are
104 equivalent.)
105 !!BUGS
106
107
108 With the -j option, the PDF image streams are copied
109 directly to the output files. DCT images in PDF files may
110 use some non-standard JPEG features, so the resulting .jpg
111 files may not be too useful.
