NAME
       pdfimages  -  Portable  Document	 Format (PDF) image extractor (version
       3.03)

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.

       -list  Instead  of writing the images, list the images along with vari‐
	      ous information for each image. Do  not  specify	an  image-root
	      with this option.

	      The following information is listed for each image:

	      page   the page number containing the image

	      num    the image number

	      type   the image type:

		     image - an opaque image
		     mask - a monochrome mask image
		     smask - a soft-mask image
		     stencil  -	 a  monochrome	mask image used for painting a
		     color or pattern

	      Note: Tranparency in images is represented in PDF using a	 sepa‐
	      rate  image  for	the  image and the mask/smask.	The mask/smask
	      used as part of a transparent image always  immediately  follows
	      the image in the image list.

	      width  image width (in pixels)

	      height image height (in pixels)

	      Note:  the image width/height is the size of the embedded image,
	      not the size the image will be rendered at.

	      color  image color space:

		     gray - Gray
		     rgb - RGB
		     cmyk - CMYK
		     lab - L*a*b
		     icc - ICC Based
		     index - Indexed Color
		     sep - Separation
		     devn - DeviceN

	      comp   number of color components

	      bpc    bits per component

	      enc    encoding:

		     image - raster image (may be Flate or LZW compressed  but
		     does not use an image encoding)
		     jpeg - Joint Photographic Experts Group
		     jp2 - JPEG2000
		     jbig2 - Joint Bi-Level Image Experts Group
		     ccitt - CCITT Group 3 or Group 4 Fax

	      interp "yes"  if the interpolation is to be performed when scal‐
		     ing up the image

	      object ID
		     the image dictionary object ID (number and generation)

       -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.

       -p     Include page numbers in output file names.

       -q     Don't print any messages or errors.

       -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.
