# mutool draw

The draw command will render a document to image files, convert to
another vector format, or extract the text content.

	mutool draw [options] file [pages]

- The supported input document formats are: pdf, xps, cbz, md, and epub.
- The supported output image formats are: pbm, pgm, ppm, pam, png, pwg, pcl and ps.
- The supported output vector formats are: svg, pdf, and debug trace (as xml).
- The supported output text formats are: plain text, html, and structured text (as xml or json).

The options are:

-p password
: Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

-o output
: The output file name. The output format is inferred from the output
filename. Embed "%d" in 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 to stdout for
text output formats, for image output formats nothing is outputted.

-F format
: Enforce a specific output format. Only necessary when outputting to
stdout since normally the output filename is used to infer the output
format.

-q
: Be quiet, do not print progress messages.

-R angle
: Rotate clockwise by given number of degrees.

-r resolution
: Render the page at the specified resolution.
The default resolution is 72 dpi.

-w width
: Render the page at the specified width (or, if the -r flag is used, render with a maximum width).

-h height
: Render the page at the specified height (or, if the -r flag is used, render with a maximum height).

-f
: Fit exactly; ignore the aspect ratio when matching specified width/heights.

-b box
: Use named page box (MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox, or ArtBox).

-B bandheight
: Render in banded mode with each band no taller than the given height.
This uses less memory during rendering.
Only compatible with pam, pgm, ppm, pnm and png output formats.
Banded rendering and md5 checksumming may not be used at the same time.

-T threads
: Number of threads to use for rendering (banded mode only).

-W width
: Page width in points for EPUB layout.

-H height
: Page height in points for EPUB layout.

-S size
: Font size in points for EPUB layout.

-U filename
: User CSS stylesheet for EPUB layout.

-X
: Disable document styles for EPUB layout.

-a
: Disable usage of accelerator file.

-c colorspace
: Render 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.

-e filename
: Proof ICC profile filename for rendering.

-G gamma
: Apply gamma correction. Some typical values are 0.7 or 1.4 to thin or
darken text rendering.

-I
: Invert colors.

-s \[mft5\]
: Show various bits of information: m for glyph cache and total memory
usage, f for page features such as whether the page is grayscale or
color, t for per page rendering times as well statistics, and 5 for
md5 checksums of rendered images that can be used to check if rendering
has changed.

-A bits
: Specify how many bits of anti-aliasing to use. The default is 8. 0
means no anti-aliasing, 9 means no anti-aliasing, centre-of-pixel
rule, 10 means no anti-aliasing, any-part-of-a-pixel rule.

-A graphics-bits/text-bits
: Specify separate numbers of bits for anti-aliasing for graphics and for
text, use a slash / as separator.

-l width
: Minimum stroke line width (in pixels).

-K
: Do not draw text.

-KK
: Only draw text.

-D
: Disable use of display lists. May cause slowdowns, but should reduce the amount of memory used.

-i
: Ignore errors.

-m limit
: Limit memory usage in bytes.

-L
: Low memory mode (avoid caching objects by clearing cache after each page).

-P
: Run interpretation and rendering at the same time.

-N
: Disable ICC workflow.

-M overprint
: Control spot/overprint rendering: 0 for no spot rendering, 1 for
Overprint simulation (default), or 2 for full spot rendering.

-t language
: Specify language/script for OCR (default: eng)

-d ocr-file-path
: Specify path for OCR files (default: rely on TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable).

-k correction
: Set the skew correction, either one of auto, 0 for increase size, 1 for maintain size, or 2 for decrease size.

-k correction,angle
: Set the skew correction as well as the angle.

-y l
: Print the layer configs to stderr.

-y layer-number
: Select layer config (by number from -y l).

-y layer-number,item1,item2,...
: Select layer config (by number from -y l) and toggle the listed items.

-Y
: Print the individual layers to stderr.

-z layer-number
: Hide individual layer.

-Z layer-number
: Show individual layer.

file
: Input file name.

[pages]
: Comma-separated list of page ranges.
The first page is "1", and the last page is "N". The default is "1-N".
