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 PDF-file, scans one or more pages, 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 addi-
tional 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 pri-
vate config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config
file, /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc. See the xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
OPTIONS
Many of the following options can be set with configuration 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. Providing this will bypass all secu-
rity 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.
