Description shenzhuxi 2014-07-11 14:50:49 UTC

If I run "pdftoppm example.pdf images/a" without creating directory "images", where are the output files? 
There's no error display for such condition, and it seems working just without output.

You need to create the directory first. It is no different to:

 $ cat > images/a
 bash: images/a: No such file or directory

We probably should abort with an error if opening the output file fails.

Agreed, an eror would make sense
