<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<b>pdbimgtopam</b>

[<b>-notefile=</b><i>filename</i>]
[<b>-verbose</b>]

[<i>pdbimgfile</i>]

<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.

<p><b>pdbimgtopam</b> reads a Palm Pilot Image Viewer image (and Image
record in a PDB file) as input, from Standard Input or
<i>palmfile</i>, and produces a PAM image as output.

<p>If the Pilot image is monochrome, the PAM output has maxval 1.
Otherwise, it has maxval 255.  Note that Pilot images are always
monochrome.  The PAM image has tuple type GRAYSCALE.


<h2 id="options">OPTIONS</h2>

<p>In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably <b>-quiet</b>, see <a href="index.html#commonoptions">
Common Options</a>), <b>pdbimgtopam</b> recognizes the following
command line options:

<dl compact>
<dt><b>-verbose</b>

<dd>
Display various interesting information about the input file and process.

<dt><b>-notefile=</b><i>filename</i>

<dd>
Write the image note (if any) to the specified file.
<p>
If you don't specify this, <b>pdbimgtopam</b> ignores any image note.

dates back to September 1997.
