pdftoppm

Convert PDF document pages to portable Pixmap (image formats).

• Specify the range of pages to convert (N-first page, M-last page):

pdftoppm -f {N} -l {M} {path/to/file.pdf} {image_name_prefix}

• Convert only the first page of a PDF:

pdftoppm -singlefile {path/to/file.pdf} {image_name_prefix}

• Generate a monochrome PBM file (instead of a color PPM file):

pdftoppm -mono {path/to/file.pdf} {image_name_prefix}

• Generate a grayscale PGM file (instead of a color PPM file):

pdftoppm -gray {path/to/file.pdf} {image_name_prefix}

• Generate a PNG file instead a PPM file:

pdftoppm -png {path/to/file.pdf} {image_name_prefix}
