Convert PAGES to PPM

The PAGES file extension is primarily associated with Apple Pages, a word processing application within the iWork suite. A PAGES file is used for creating and editing documents, including text, images, tables, and charts. It supports advanced formatting and multimedia content. Introduced by Apple Inc., the Pages format has evolved since its release in 2005, enhancing compatibility with other document formats like PDF and Microsoft Word. This file format is particularly valued for its seamless integration within the Apple ecosystem, facilitating document creation on Mac, iPad, and iPhone devices.

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
