To save today's front page to NRC_front_page_{year:04}-{month:02}-{day:02}.jpg, simply use nrc-to-jpg without any options:

nrc-to-jpg

To save the front page for a different date than today, use the --date option:

nrc-to-jpg --date 2001-09-12

To save a page other than the front page, use the --page-number option:

nrc-to-jpg --page-number 2

This will still save the specified page to NRC_front_page_{year:04}-{month:02}-{day:02}.jpg. You might want to customize the output template using the --output option:

nrc-to-jpg --page-number 2 --output NRC_{page_number}nd_page_{year:04}-{month:02}-{day:02}.jpg
