NAME
        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.
