NAME

pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor (version 0.80)  

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.
-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.
