First, fmw42, thank you for all the patience and help! It's working. I was checking my earlier files and found that -density 150x150 wasn't working - but you're comment about using -units got it to work. Here's the command that did it: convert -density 150x150 MamboTest.pdf -background white -units ...

Okay, I'm playing around with that now. I had some issue at one point - with all the experimentation, it's sometimes hard to keep it all straight. For a while I couldn't get -density to behave. Do -extent -page ever "fight" with -density? It seems like using -extent can force it to ignore -density ...

I got it to almost work. This command line: convert MamboTest.pdf -gravity center -background white -extent 612x792 MamboTest-PageSet.png Gave me margins and a border, but it's not exactly the same size, in a Preview window, as the PDF, but that could be for several reasons.

Here's the images. These are screenshots of the PDF or PNGs in Preview (the default app for viewing almost anything on OS X). In each case, I set the zoom setting to "fit to window," so I'm assuming the actual image size in all of them is the same size as the one in the first image - but that the ...

Thank you. I may have misunderstood the docs, but there's a problem - when I try this, I'm getting only a section of the page. I tried this and it gave me a picture of only part of the page. I changed the 612x792 to 1275x1650 (got those numbers from multiplying 150 DPI by 8.5 and 11 inches for the ...

I've tried this: convert -background transparent -density 150x150 -page Letter Background.pdf[0] BackgroundParts-00-150DPI.png I've done it with the -density option set, and with -page set, then without the -density and without the -page, and with only one of each (in other words all 4 combinations ...
