NAME
    pdfimages - Portable Document  Format (PDF) image extractor (version
    2.01)

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 /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 com-
    mands. 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.)

EXIT CODES
    The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

    0   No error.

    1   Error opening a PDF file.

    2   Error opening an output file.

    3   Error related to PDF permissions.

    99   Other error.
