Output

The output parameter allows you to specify a custom base name for your extracted image files, excluding the file extension and the numbering system that indicates image and page numbers. By default, the naming format is "[inputfilename]_pdfrest_extracted-images-img###-page###", where "###" will be replaced with numbers. The "img###" represents the incremental number of the extracted image file, and "page###" indicates the page number where the image first appeared.

When you provide a value for the output parameter, it replaces the initial part of the default name ("[inputfilename]_pdfrest_extracted-images"). The suffix "-img###-page###" will always be appended to the file name. For example, if you set output="test", the extracted image files will be named "test-img001-page002", "test-img002-page002", and so on, indicating the sequence and page number of each image.
