NAME
       pdftoppm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) converter (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 Portable 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.

       -o     Generates only the odd numbered pages.

       -e     Generates only the even numbered pages.

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

              Specifies the y-coordinate of the crop area top left corner

       -W number
              Specifies the width of crop area in pixels (default is 0)

       -H number
              Specifies the height of crop area in pixels (default is 0)

       -sz number
              Specifies the size of crop square in pixels (sets W and H)
