pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor
       (version 0.92)


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).


OPTIONS

       -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.

       -upw password
              Specify the user password for the PDF file.

       -q     Don't print any messages or errors.

       -v     Print copyright and version information.

       -h     Print usage information.  (-help is equivalent.)


BUGS

       With  the  -j  option,  the  PDF  image streams are copied
       directly to the output files.  DCT images in PDF files may
       use some non-standard JPEG features, so the resulting .jpg
       files may not be too useful.
