-.TH "EXTRACTBB" "1" "20 April 2012" "20120420" "DVIPDFMx"
-.PP
-.SH "NAME"
-extractbb, ebb \- extract bounding box information from graphics files
-.PP
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.PP
-.B extractbb
-.RB [ \-v | \-q ]
-.RB [ \-O ]
-.RB [ \-m | \-x ]
-.IR file \&.\&.\&.
-.PP
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-For each
-.SM JPEG\c
-,
-.SM PNG\c
-, or
-.SM PDF
-file given on the command line,
-.B extractbb
-extracts the bounding box information and writes it into a file with extension
-.BR .xbb ,
-together with some header information. These files can then be used by
-.B dvipdfmx
-or other programs. For
-.SM PDF
-files, the number of pages and the
-.SM PDF
-version number are reported as well.
-The input filename extension may be in upper or lower case.
-.PP
-If called as
-.BR ebb ,
-the output is written in the ``bb'' format (and with extension
-.BR .bb )
-as used by
-.BR dvipdfm .
-.B Xbb
-may be defined as a synomym for
-.B extractbb
-on your system.
-.PP
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.PD 0
-.TP 10
-.B -v
-Be verbose.
-.TP
-.B -q
-Be quiet.
-.TP
-.B -O
-Write output to standard output.
-.TP
-.B -m
-Write output in dvipdfm's ``bb'' format.
-.TP
-.B -x
-Write output in dvipdfmx's ``xbb'' format (default), which is the same
-as that used by pdfTeX.
-.PD
-.PP
-.SH "OUTPUT FORMATS"
-.PP
-Here are more details about the bb and xbb formats:
-.PP
-The original ebb (from dvipdfm) ignored density information in bitmap
-images, and generated bounding boxes with 100px = 72bp = 1in.
-Unfortunately, screenshots (especially) tend to look bad with this
-approach.
-.PP
-So, extractbb (from dvipdfmx) uses density information if present.
-Otherwise, it generates bounding box with 100px = 100bp. This is what
-pdfTeX does.
-.SH "BUGS"
-.PP
-There is currently no way to specify which bounding box is taken
-for
-.SM PDF
-files. It will always be the first one from the following
-list: ArtBox, TrimBox, BleedBox, MediaBox. (Often only MediaBox
-is defined.) Moreover, the reported bounding box always refers
-to the first page in a
-.SM PDF
-file.
