You can prevent PDFPlug from creating the images by turning the
"-noimages" option on. In the GLI, go to the Design Pane and click
Document Plugins, then select PDFPlug and choose Configure Plugin.
Select the "-noimages" option, near the top.

If you're not interested in any information at all from the PDFs, you
can process the files using UnknownPlug (-process_exp \.pdf$) and this
will be much quicker because the PDF to HTML conversion will not be done.

Michael
