pdfimages - Portable Document Format (PDF) image extractor (version
0.80)
pdfimages [options] PDF-file image-root
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).
- -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.)
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.
