My apologies again. I have been up working on a number of different emergencies this week until about 3am each night. This PDF issue is just one problem I am having at the moment and my attention is divided. I'm not trying to rile anyone up. Thank you again for looking at this.

I am trying to use the csplit file on a file that contains records that have more than 2048 characters on a line. The resultant split file seems to ignore the rest of the line and I lose the data. Is there any way that csplit can handle record lengths greater than 2048? Thanks

LEARN ABOUT REDHAT

pdftopbm

pdftopbm(1)						      General Commands Manual						       pdftopbm(1)

NAME

       pdftopbm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Bitmap (PBM) converter (version 2.01)

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 /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.

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.
