Thank you! I'll pass this along to the hosting company and see if they have some different settings.

And for ghostscript as well please.

snibgo,

can you post your imagemagick program settings? I think they can be obtained similar to the following

$ cd ImageMagick-6.8.2-0
$ ./configure

I was able to get in a white background during the composite step. Quality seems to be improved but not as good as the left side of the imgur link. I have the hosting company trying to tackle the original problem I posted, we'll see where that goes.

There may be another way to solve this. I already do a composite step later on, dissolving in a watermark $cmd = '/usr/bin/composite -dissolve '.$watermark_darkness.' '. $wmtype .' scaled_watermark.jpg ' . $file. ' '. $file; Is there a way I can put a white background behind all of this? I tried ...

Yes I have. No luck.

I think I am going to install a local im/gs copy on my windows PC to see what happens. I think there is a problem with their (Linux) server.

My other choice is to try to bypass im and work directly with gs to create the pngs.

I had the hosting company change delegates.xml and this caused the png creation to fail altogether. I then asked them set im and gs to the prior versions I had before their server crashed. The pngs generate again, but still the part o fthe page that is supposed to be white is transparent. I need to ...

Thanks for the the responses. I tried the flatten suggestion, ..... $cmd = '/usr/bin/convert upload/foo.pdf -density 1200 -background White -flatten -resize '.$width.'x'.$height.' rename/foo.png '; this made the background white, but since the actual PDF is multipage (my sample was just 1) each page ...

I was thinking about compositing and will do this if there isn't a slight easier fix.

Let me know what you think.

I'm converting PDFs to PNGs using ImageMagick and Ghostscript. For the attached link, the image on the left was created used ImageMagick 6.7.5 and Ghostscript 9.05. The command was $cmd = '/usr/bin/convert upload/foo.pdf -density 1200x1200 -quality 100 -resize '.$width.'x'.$height.' rename/foo.png ...
