💖 pdf2dcm(1) — a little deprecation era 🎀

okay so bestie, before anything else: this page lives in the OFFIS DCMTK manual, section 1, and it's genuinely the shortest glow-up tour ever because our girl pdf2dcm is, um… retired. 😭 Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pdf2dcm — wraps a PDF file up all cozy inside the DICOM file format 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pdf2dcm [options] pdffile-in dcmfile-out

Like, you hand her a pdffile-in, she hands you back a dcmfile-out, and [options] are the vibes in between. Slay. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Not me having to be the one to tell you this… but the pdf2dcm tool is deprecated. 💀

The replacement is dcmencap, and honestly she ate — dcmencap supports the exact same command line parameters, and more. So like, the upgrade is free, no cap. ✨

Lowkey listen to the manpage on this one: deprecated means deprecated. Use dcmencap instead. dcmencap supports the same command line parameters, and more. 🦋
