The command "pdfimages -list ${filename.pdf}" is used to list the images present in a PDF file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"pdfimages" is a command-line tool that comes with the Poppler utilities. It is used to extract images from PDF files.
-
"-list" is an option or flag provided to the "pdfimages" command. It tells the command to list the images, rather than extracting them.
-
"${filename.pdf}" is a placeholder indicating the name of the PDF file you want to list the images from. You need to replace "${filename.pdf}" with the actual path or name of the PDF file you want to work with.
When you run this command, it will display a list of images contained within the PDF file specified. The list typically includes details such as the image's page number, object ID, width, height, color space, and the file size.
