NAME

       pdftoppm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) converter (version 3.00)

SYNOPSIS

       pdftoppm [options] PDF-file PPM-root

DESCRIPTION

       Pdftoppm  converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to color image files in Portable Pixmap (PPM) format, grayscale image files in Por-
       table Graymap (PGM) format, or monochrome image files in Portable Bitmap (PBM) format.

       Pdftoppm reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes one PPM file for each page, PPM-root-number.ppm, where number is the page number.
