NAME
       pdftoppm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) con‐
       verter (version 3.03)

SYNOPSIS
       pdftoppm [options] PDF-file PPM-root

DESCRIPTION
       Pdftoppm converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to  color	 image
       files  in Portable Pixmap (PPM) format, grayscale image files in Porta‐
       ble Graymap (PGM) format, or monochrome image files in Portable	Bitmap
       (PBM) format.

       Pdftoppm reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes one PPM file for each
       page, PPM-root-number.ppm, where number is the page number.
