4 pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor
6 pdfimages [options] PDF-file image-root
8 Pdfimages saves images from a Portable Document Format
9 (PDF) file as Portable Pixmap (PPM), Portable Bitmap
12 Pdfimages reads the PDF file, scans one or more pages,
13 PDF-file, and writes one PPM, PBM, or JPEG file for each
14 image, image-root-nnn.xxx, where nnn is the image number
15 and xxx is the image type (.ppm, .pbm, .jpg).
17 NB: pdfimages extracts the raw image data from the PDF
18 file, without performing any additional transforms. Any
19 rotation, clipping, color inversion, etc. done by the PDF
20 content stream is ignored.
26 Pdfimages reads a configuration file at startup. It first
27 tries to find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc.
28 If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config
29 file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location
30 can be changed when pdfimages is built). See the
31 xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
