mutool draw [options] file [pages]
Note
Command line parameters within square brackets [] are optional.
[options]Options are as follows:
-ppasswordUse the specified password if the file is encrypted.
-ooutputThe output file name. The output format is inferred from the output filename. Embed
%din the name to indicate the page number (for example: “page%d.png”). Printf modifiers are supported, for example “%03d”. If no output is specified, the output will go tostdout.-FformatEnforce a specific output format. Only necessary when outputting to
stdoutsince normally the output filename is used to infer the output format.-RangleRotate clockwise by given number of degrees.
-rresolutionRender the page at the specified resolution. The default resolution is 72 dpi.
-wwidthRender the page at the specified width (or, if the
-rflag is used, render with a maximum width).-hheightRender the page at the specified height (or, if the
-rflag is used, render with a maximum height).-fFit exactly; ignore the aspect ratio when matching specified width/heights.
-BbandheightRender in banded mode with each band no taller than the given height. This uses less memory during rendering. Only compatible with
pam,pgm,ppm,pnmandpngoutput formats. Banded rendering and md5 checksumming may not be used at the same time.-WwidthPage width in points for EPUB layout.
-HheightPage height in points for EPUB layout.
-SsizeFont size in points for EPUB layout.
-UfilenameUser CSS stylesheet for EPUB layout.
-XDisable document styles for EPUB layout.
-ccolorspaceRender in the specified colorspace. Supported colorspaces are:
mono,gray,grayalpha,rgb,rgbalpha,cmyk,cmykalpha. Some abbreviations are allowed:m,g,ga,rgba,cmyka. The default is chosen based on the output format.-GgammaApply gamma correction. Some typical values are 0.7 or 1.4 to thin or darken text rendering.
-IInvert colors.
-s[mft5]Show various bits of information:
mfor glyph cache and total memory usage,ffor page features such as whether the page is grayscale or color,tfor per page rendering times as well statistics, and5for md5 checksums of rendered images that can be used to check if rendering has changed.-AbitsSpecify how many bits of anti-aliasing to use. The default is
8.0means no anti-aliasing,9means no anti-aliasing, centre-of-pixel rule,10means no anti-aliasing, any-part-of-a-pixel rule.-DDisable use of display lists. May cause slowdowns, but should reduce the amount of memory used.
-iIgnore errors.
-LLow memory mode (avoid caching objects by clearing cache after each page).
-PRun interpretation and rendering at the same time.
fileInput file name. The input can be any of the document formats supported by MuPDF.
[pages]Comma separated list of page ranges. The first page is “1”, and the last page is “N”. The default is “1-N”.
