!!NAME


pdftopbm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Bitmap (PBM) converter (version 1.00)
!!SYNOPSIS


__pdftopbm__ [[options] ''PDF-file
PBM-root''
!!DESCRIPTION


__Pdftopbm__ converts Portable Document Format (PDF)
files to black-and-white image files in Portable Bitmap
(PBM) format.


Pdftopbm reads the PDF file, ''PDF-file'', and writes one
PBM file for each page, ''PBM-root''-''nnnnnn''.pbm,
where ''nnnnnn'' is the page number.
!!CONFIGURATION FILE


Pdftopbm 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 pdftopbm 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 convert.


__-l__ ''number''


Specifies the last page to convert.


__-r__ ''number''


Specifies the resolution, in DPI. The default is 150
DPI.


__-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


Pdftopbm uses X to do the rendering, so it is limited by the
capabilities and performance of the X server. In particular,
high-resolution output requires lots of memory. Also,
non-scalable fonts will not look great.
