NAME

       pdftoppm  -  Portable  Document  Format  (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) converter (version
       3.03)

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-
       number.ppm,  where  number  is the page number.  If PDF-file is ยด-', it reads the PDF file
       from stdin.

OPTIONS

       -f number
              Specifies the first page to convert.

       -l number
              Specifies the last page to convert.

       -o     Generates only the odd numbered pages.

       -e     Generates only the even numbered pages.

       -singlefile
              Writes only the first page and does not add digits.

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

       -rx number
              Specifies the X resolution, in DPI.  The default is 150 DPI.

       -ry number
              Specifies the Y resolution, in DPI.  The default is 150 DPI.

       -scale-to number
              Scales the long side of each page (width for landscape pages, height  for  portrait
              pages)  to fit in scale-to pixels. The size of the short side will be determined by
              the aspect ratio of the page.

       -scale-to-x number
              Scales each page horizontally to fit in scale-to-x pixels. If scale-to-y is set  to
              -1, the vertical size will determined by the aspect ratio of the page.

       -scale-to-y number
              Scales  each  page  vertically to fit in scale-to-y pixels. If scale-to-x is set to
              -1, the horizontal size will determined by the aspect ratio of the page.

       -scale-dimension-before-rotation
              Swaps horizontal and vertical size for a rotated  (landscape)  pdf  before  scaling
              instead of after.

       -x number
              Specifies the x-coordinate of the crop area top left corner

       -y number
              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)

       -cropbox
              Uses the crop box rather than media box when generating the files

       -hide-annotations
              Do not show annotations

       -mono  Generate a monochrome PBM file (instead of a color PPM file).

       -gray  Generate a grayscale PGM file (instead of a color PPM file).

       -displayprofile displayprofilefile
              If poppler is compiled with colour management support, this option sets the display
              profile to the ICC profile stored in displayprofilefile.

       -defaultgrayprofile defaultgrayprofilefile
              If poppler is compiled  with  colour  management  support,  this  option  sets  the
              DefaultGray color space to the ICC profile stored in defaultgrayprofilefile.

       -defaultrgbprofile defaultrgbprofilefile
              If  poppler  is  compiled  with  colour  management  support,  this option sets the
              DefaultRGB color space to the ICC profile stored in defaultrgbprofilefile.

       -defaultcmykprofile defaultcmykprofilefile
              If poppler is compiled  with  colour  management  support,  this  option  sets  the
              DefaultCMYK color space to the ICC profile stored in defaultcmykprofilefile.

       -png   Generates a PNG file instead a PPM file.

       -jpeg  Generates a JPEG file instead a PPM file.

       -jpegopt jpeg-options
              When  used with -jpeg, takes a list of options to control the jpeg compression. See
              JPEG OPTIONS for the available options.

       -tiff  Generates a TIFF file instead a PPM file.

       -tiffcompression none | packbits | jpeg | lzw | deflate
              Specifies the TIFF compression type.  This defaults to "none".

       -freetype yes | no
              Enable or disable FreeType (a TrueType / Type 1 font rasterizer).  This defaults to
              "yes".

       -thinlinemode none | solid | shape
              Specifies the thin line mode. This defaults to "none".

       "solid":
              adjust lines with a width less than one pixel to pixel boundary and paint it with a
              width of one pixel.

       "shape":
              adjust lines with a width less than one pixel to pixel boundary and paint it with a
              width of one pixel but with a shape in proportion to its width.

       -aa yes | no
              Enable or disable font anti-aliasing.  This defaults to "yes".

       -aaVector yes | no
              Enable or disable vector anti-aliasing.  This defaults to "yes".

       -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.

       -progress
              Print progress info as each page is generated.  Three  space-separated  fields  are
              printed to STDERR: the number of the current page, the number of the last page that
              will be generated, and the path to the file written to.

       -sep char
              Specify single character separator between name and page number, default - .

       -forcenum
              Force page number even if there is only one page.

       -v     Print copyright and version information.

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

EXIT CODES

       The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

       0      No error.

       1      Error opening a PDF file.

       2      Error opening an output file.

       3      Error related to PDF permissions.

       99     Other error.

JPEG OPTIONS

       When JPEG output is specified, the -jpegopt  option  can  be  used  to  control  the  JPEG
       compression  parameters.   It  takes  a  string  of  the form "<opt>=<val>[,<opt>=<val>]".
       Currently the available options are:

       quality
              Selects the JPEG quality value. The value must be an integer between 0 and 100.

       progressive
              Select progressive JPEG output.  The  possible  values  are  "y",  "n",  indicating
              progressive (yes) or non-progressive (no), respectively.

       optimize
              Sets  whether  to  compute optimal Huffman coding tables for the JPEG output, which
              will create smaller files but make an extra pass over the data. The value  must  be
              "y"  or "n", with "y" performing optimization, otherwise the default Huffman tables
              are used.
