Convert only some pages from PDF to TIF with xpdf

I'm using this command to convert a PDF to a TIF image on stdout:

convert -density 300 -depth 8 -compress lzw my.pdf tif:-

If the PDF has multiple pages, how to convert only the first page?

Solution

  • Found it. Append the page number to the input filename with array-like syntax:

    convert -density 300 -depth 8 -compress lzw my.pdf[0] tif:-
