Print PDF as image from command line?

Is it possible to print a PDF as image using Acrobat Reader through command line options?

Or this feature is only available through the GUI of Acrobat?

Solution

  • Unfortunately for you, the answer is "No!". Printing PDF pages as an image is only available through the GUI in Acrobat Reader.

    To see a list with all available options, run this:

    acroread -help

    To see an explanation for all the available options, run this:

    man acroread

    (I assume you are using acroread on Linux or Unix. Because on Windows, you'd have even less CLI options for it... and some incomplete documentation of which is here.)
