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 commands.  These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
       corresponding command line option.
