I think, size is relevant, because the input file is not a raster file. It's a postscript, without a size in pixels.

This is shorthand for "-page 595x842", which is A4 at 72 dpi. But you have 300 dpi, so the result won't be A4. That's interesting. Now, I tried: convert -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -define registry:temporary-path="c:\tmp" -size 2480x3508 -density 300x300 -units pixelsperinch -colors 2 ...

I think, some samples will help: This is a text in different sizes and colors: http://akapuma.info/sonstiges/coloured.pdf Conversion with ghostsript only (tiff2pdf after that): gs -o testpage.tif -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r300 testpage.ps Result: http://akapuma.info/sonstiges/gsonly.pdf => the yellow text is ...

Hello pipitas, If you do not want dithering, but black filled areas and white filled areas all over the page, you need to use a different workflow. That is also possible. Please as a new question for this, and clearly state your goals. The following command line from my first post does, what I want ...

Hellp pepitas, gs -o testpage.tif -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r300 testpage.ps tiff2pdf -p A4 -F testpage.tif > testpage.tif.pdf Thank you for the great idea to solve my problem with ghostscript. It works fine, but unfortunately the gs uses dithering. Any idea to convert in back/white without dithering? Best ...

Why do you even use ImageMagick for this job in the first place?!? I want to have a PDF with the following requirements: - no fonts, no vector graphics, bitmap graphics only - Because the size of a bitmap is very high, a good compression is needed. Very effective is fax compression group 4. - The ...

The syntax is wrong. It should be: input-file, processing, output file, like this: In this case, the result is wrong. For testing, you can use this test picture: http://anders.geekhouse.no/Testpage/ Remove "-density 300x300". I think the size will then be A4. Yes, this works, output is A4. Problem ...

Hello, I want to convert a postscript file (.PS) into a PDF file. I'm using the following command line: convert -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -define registry:temporary-path="c:\tmp" -density 300x300 -page A4 -colors 2 +dither -monochrome -compress group4 input.ps output.pdf The problem is ...

I'm sorry, I can't reproduce it now: installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine installed IM 6.8.9-1 => not fine "not fine" was reproducible with several files installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine uninstalled 6.8.9 installed IM 6.8.9-1 => works fine installed IM 6.8.9 => works fine installed IM 6.8.9-1 => works ...

Oh yes, it's a typo: convert -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -limit disk 4GiB -colors 2 -monochrome -compress group4 -density 300x300 -page A4 +dither testpage.ps pdffile. pdf is correct. Normally, there a placeholder in a batch file. Therefore, this is not the reason for the problem. Ghostscript ...
