NAME
       pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor (version 3.00)

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 PDF-file, scans one or more pages, 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.

       -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.

       -h     Print usage information.  (-help and --help are equivalent.)
