12 !!NAME
13
14
15 pdftopbm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Bitmap (PBM) converter (version 1.00)
16 !!SYNOPSIS
17
18
19 __pdftopbm__ [[options] ''PDF-file
20 PBM-root''
21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 __Pdftopbm__ converts Portable Document Format (PDF)
25 files to black-and-white image files in Portable Bitmap
26 (PBM) format.
27
28
29 Pdftopbm reads the PDF file, ''PDF-file'', and writes one
30 PBM file for each page, ''PBM-root''-''nnnnnn''.pbm,
31 where ''nnnnnn'' is the page number.
32 !!CONFIGURATION FILE
33
34
35 Pdftopbm reads a configuration file at startup. It first
36 tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If
37 that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config file,
38 typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be
39 changed when pdftopbm is built). See the xpdfrc(5)
40 man page for details.
41 !!OPTIONS
42
43
44 Many of the following options can be set with configuration
45 file commands. These are listed in square brackets with the
46 description of the corresponding command line
47 option.

98 Print usage information. (__-help__ and __--help__ are
99 equivalent.)
100 !!BUGS
101
102
103 Pdftopbm uses X to do the rendering, so it is limited by the
104 capabilities and performance of the X server. In particular,
105 high-resolution output requires lots of memory. Also,
106 non-scalable fonts will not look great.
