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.

CONFIGURATION FILE
       Pdftoppm	 reads a configuration file at startup.	 It first
       tries to find the user's private config	file,  ~/.xpdfrc.
       If  that	 doesn't exist, it looks for a system-wide config
       file, typically /usr/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can  be
       changed	when  pdftoppm	is built).  See the xpdfrc(5) man
       page for details.

OPTIONS
       Many of the following options can be set	 with  configura
       tion  file  commands.  These are listed in square brackets
       with the description of	the  corresponding  command  line
       option.

       -f number
	      Specifies the first page to convert.

       -l number
	      Specifies the last page to convert.

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

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

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

       -t1lib yes | no
	      Enable or disable t1lib (a Type 1 font rasterizer).
	      This defaults to "yes".  [config file: enableT1lib]

       -freetype yes | no
	      Enable or disable FreeType (a  TrueType  /  Type	1
	      font rasterizer).	 This defaults to "yes".  [config
	      file: enableFreeType]

       -aa yes | no
	      Enable  or  disable   font   anti-aliasing.    This
	      defaults to "yes".  [config file: antialias]

       -opw password
	      Specify  the  owner  password  for  the  PDF  file.
	      Providing this will bypass  all  security	 restric
	      tions.

	      Specify the user password for the PDF file.

       -q     Don't  print any messages or errors.  [config file:

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