!!NAME


pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor (version 1.00)
!!SYNOPSIS


__pdfimages__ [[options] ''PDF-file
image-root''
!!DESCRIPTION


__Pdfimages__ saves images from a Portable Document
Format (PDF) file as Portable Pixmap (PPM), Portable Bitmap
(PBM), or JPEG files.


Pdfimages reads the PDF file, scans one or more pages,
''PDF-file'', and writes one PPM, PBM, or JPEG file for
each image, ''image-root''-''nnn''.''xxx'', where
''nnn'' is the image number and ''xxx'' is the image
type (.ppm, .pbm, .jpg).
!!CONFIGURATION FILE


Pdfimages reads a configuration file at startup. It first
tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If
that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file,
typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be
changed when pdfimages is built). See the xpdfrc(5)
man page for details.
!!OPTIONS


Many of the following options can be set with configuration
file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the
description of the corresponding command line
option.


__-f__ ''number''


Specifies the first page to scan.


__-l__ ''number''


Specifies the last page to scan.


__-j__


Normally, all images are written as PBM (for monochrome
images) or PPM (for non-monochrome images) files. With this
option, images in DCT format are saved as JPEG files. All
non-DCT images are saved in PBM/PPM format as
usual.


__-opw__ ''password''


Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this
will bypass all security restrictions.


__-upw__ ''password''


Specify the user password for the PDF file.


__-q__


Don't print any messages or errors. [[config file:
__errQuiet__]


__-v__


Print copyright and version information.


__-h__


Print usage information. (__-help__ and __--help__ are
equivalent.)
!!BUGS


With the -j option, the PDF image streams are copied
directly to the output files. DCT images in PDF files may
use some non-standard JPEG features, so the resulting .jpg
files may not be too useful.
