NAME
       pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor
       (version 2.02)

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 /usr/local/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  configura-
       tion  file  commands.  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.  Pro-
	      viding 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.
