php-pdftoppm creates subfolders

[trondhuso]

For some odd reason I am experiencing that php-pdftopng creates subfolders which look very temporary

This command:
pdftoppm -png ../../filestore/input/pdf/foo.pdf ../../filestore/input/png/foo.pdf

Returns the expected foo.pdf-01.png file

where as running php-pdftopng in a php script creates a temporary folder with a name like this: pdftoppm5fa286f1a94c0
and with a file inside it saying -01.png for instance

Late on board, but I currently had the same problem, when you look at the source code there's no option to change that behavior.
For my needs I created a quick fork which supports $filename variable - you can pass any you want, and it will create just files (without creating subfolder with uniqid) under selected destination, if you don't, script will act as originally intended.
