DESCRIPTION

13       Pdfimages saves images from a Portable Document Format  (PDF)  file  as
14       Portable Pixmap (PPM), Portable Bitmap (PBM), or JPEG files.
15
16       Pdfimages  reads  the  PDF  file PDF-file, scans one or more pages, and
17       writes one PPM, PBM, or JPEG file for each  image,  image-root-nnn.xxx,
