# pjtoppm(1)

convert an HP PaintJet file to a PPM image

## NAME

pjtoppm - convert an HP PaintJet file to a PPM image

## SYNOPSIS

**pjtoppm**

\[*paintjet*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**pjtoppm** reads an HP PaintJet file as input and converts it into a PPM image.  This was a quick hack to save some trees, and it only handles a small subset of the paintjet commands.  In particular, it will only handle enough commands to convert most raster image files.

## OPTIONS

There are no command line options defined specifically for **pjtoppm**, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)
