- 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}}`
