Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

pdf-to-images scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Rasterize PDF to Images

Convert PDF pages to raster images (JPEG, PNG, or TIFF) using pdftoppm. Each page becomes a numbered image file. Different from pdf-extract-embedded-images — this rasterizes the entire page content.

When to use

  • Converting a scanned PDF or document PDF to standalone images for archival, editing, or distribution.
  • Extracting pages as thumbnails or preview images at lower DPI.
  • Creating image sequences from a multi-page PDF without needing OCR or text extraction.

Inputs to gather

  • Input PDF file — path to the PDF. Required.
  • DPI (resolution) — dots per inch. Default: 300 (suitable for archival and print). Ask if the user needs lower DPI for faster processing or smaller file size (e.g., 150 for thumbnails, 600 for high-quality scans).
  • Output format — jpeg, png, or tiff. Default: jpeg (good balance of size and quality). PNG for lossless, TIFF for archival.
  • Page range (optional) — ask if they want all pages or a subset. If a subset, capture start page and end page (e.g., pages 5–10).
  • Output directory — optional. Default: current directory.

Procedure

1. Check tooling

command -v pdftoppm || echo "pdftoppm not installed — install with: sudo apt install poppler-utils"

Abort if missing.

2. Validate PDF

file "<input.pdf>"
pdfinfo "<input.pdf>"  # shows page count, dimensions, etc.

If invalid, abort. Print page count for user awareness.

3. Build command

Base command:

pdftoppm -r <DPI> -<format> "<input.pdf>" "<output-prefix>"

Examples:

  • All pages, JPEG at 300 DPI: pdftoppm -r 300 -jpeg input.pdf output_
  • Pages 5–10, PNG at 150 DPI: pdftoppm -r 150 -png -f 5 -l 10 input.pdf output_
  • All pages, TIFF at 600 DPI: pdftoppm -r 600 -tiff input.pdf output_

Flags:

  • -r <DPI> — resolution in DPI.
  • -<format> — output format: jpeg, png, tiff.
  • -f <N> — first page (optional).
  • -l <N> — last page (optional).

4. Execute

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
