| 5 | NAME
|
|---|
| 6 | pdftoppm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) con-
|
|---|
| 7 | verter (version 4.00)

| 9 | SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 10 | pdftoppm [options] PDF-file PPM-root
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 13 | Pdftoppm converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to color image
|
|---|
| 14 | files in Portable Pixmap (PPM) format, grayscale image files in Porta-
|
|---|
| 15 | ble Graymap (PGM) format, or monochrome image files in Portable Bitmap
|
|---|
| 16 | (PBM) format.
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | Pdftoppm reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes one PPM file for each
|
|---|
| 19 | page, PPM-root-nnnnnn.ppm, where nnnnnn is the page number. If PPM-
|
|---|
| 20 | root is '-', the image is sent to stdout (this is probably only useful
|
|---|
| 21 | when converting a single page).
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|---|
| 24 | Pdftoppm reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to find
|
|---|
| 25 | the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist, it
|
|---|
| 26 | looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
|
|---|
| 27 | (but this location can be changed when pdftoppm is built). See the
|
|---|
| 28 | xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
