NAME
pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor
(version 3.02)
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).
NB: pdfimages extracts the raw image data from the PDF
file, without performing any additional transforms. Any
rotation, clipping, color inversion, etc. done by the PDF
content stream is ignored.
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.
