NAME
       pdftoppm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) con‐
       verter (version 3.00)

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-nnnnnn.ppm, where nnnnnn is the page number.

CONFIGURATION FILE
       Pdftoppm 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 convert.

       -l number
	      Specifies the last page to convert.

       -r number
	      Specifies the resolution, in DPI.	 The default is 150 DPI.

       -mono  Generate a monochrome PBM file (instead of a color PPM file).

       -gray  Generate a grayscale PGM file (instead of a color PPM file).

       -t1lib yes | no
	      Enable  or  disable  t1lib  (a  Type  1  font rasterizer).  This
	      defaults to "yes".  [config file: enableT1lib]

       -freetype yes | no
	      Enable or disable FreeType (a TrueType /	Type  1	 font  raster‐
	      izer).  This defaults to "yes".  [config file: enableFreeType]

       -aa yes | no
	      Enable  or  disable font anti-aliasing.  This defaults to "yes".
	      [config file: antialias]

       -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.
