Simon, can you upload the PNG files too?
Yes, the parameters to PDFToImage changed around 5 months ago, e.g.,
{{-imageType}} is now {{-format}}. This was done to make PDFBox more consistent
with other tools, and also Java's own terminology (in Java an image 'type'
refers to the color model, e.g. int-packed ARGB, whereas an image 'format'
refers to the file format on disk, e.g. PNG). However, please note that the old
parameters are still supported - we didn't want to break existing shell
scripts. Indeed, that's presumably why Tilman didn't know they'd changed.
