NAME
       pdfimages  -  Portable  Document	 Format (PDF) image extractor (version
       3.00)

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).

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,  /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc.   See  the
       xpdfrc(5) man page for details.

OPTIONS
       Many  of	 the following options can be set with configuration file com‐
       mands.  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 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.
