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.
