NAME
       pdfdraw - render PDF documents

SYNOPSIS
       pdfdraw [options] [file.pdf [pages]] ...

DESCRIPTION
       pdfdraw will render a PDF document to image files.  The supported image
       formats are: png, ppm, pam and png.  Select the pages to be rendered by
       specifying a comma separated list of ranges and individual page numbers
       (for example: 1,5,10-15).  In no pages are specified all the pages will
       be rendered.

OPTIONS
       -o output
              The image format is deduced from the output file name.  Embed %d
              in  the  name  to  indicate  the  page  number   (for   example:
              "page%d.png").

       -p password
              Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

       -r resolution
              Render  the page at the specified resolution.  The default reso-
              lution is 72 dpi.

       -a     Save the alpha channel.  The default behavior is to render  each
              page  with a white background.  With this option, the page back-
              ground is transparent.  Only supported for pam  and  png  output
              formats.

       -g     Render  in grayscale.  The default is to render a full color RGB
              image.  If the output format  is  pgm  or  ppm  this  option  is
              ignored.

       -m     Show  timing  information.  Take the time it takes for each page
              to render and print a summary at the end.

       -5     Print an MD5 checksum of the rendered image data for each  page.

       -t     Print  the  text  contents of each page in UTF-8 encoding.  Give
              the option twice to print detailed information about  the  loca-
              tion of each character in XML format.

       -x     Print the display list used to render each page.

       -A     Disable the use of accelerated functions.
