NAME
pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor
(version 0.93)
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.

bypass all security restrictions.

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.
