pdftoppm(1) General Commands Manual pdftoppm(1) NAME pdftoppm - Portable Document Format (PDF) to Portable Pixmap (PPM) con- verter (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 '-', 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 op- tion sets the display profile to the ICC profile stored in dis- playprofilefile. -defaultgrayprofile defaultgrayprofilefile If poppler is compiled with colour management support, this op- tion sets the DefaultGray color space to the ICC profile stored in defaultgrayprofilefile. -defaultrgbprofile defaultrgbprofilefile If poppler is compiled with colour management support, this op- tion sets the DefaultRGB color space to the ICC profile stored in defaultrgbprofilefile. -defaultcmykprofile defaultcmykprofilefile If poppler is compiled with colour management support, this op- tion 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 raster- izer). 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 pro- portion 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-sep- arated 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 con- trol 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 be- tween 0 and 100. progressive Select progressive JPEG output. The possible values are "y", "n", indicating progressive (yes) or non-progressive (no), re- spectively. 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" per- forming optimization, otherwise the default Huffman tables are used.
