Re: Converting PDFs to JPGs shrinks the text.

There have been reports of issues with GS 9.16 and people downgrading to GS 9.15 have found the latter works. Rolled GS back to 9.15, and I'm still having no luck. I'm running: exec('/usr/local/bin/convert '.$path_for_PDF.' -verbose -identify '.$path_for_JPG, $output, $return); When I echo $output ...

Re: Converting PDFs to JPGs shrinks the text.

I suggest updating the software -- both IM and GS. As both Bonzo and snibgo suggested, I've asked our hosting company to upgrade both IM and GS. After some back and forth they agreed to to this, and installed version 6.9.2-1 of IM, and version 9.16 of GS. However, now I'm running into a new problem ...

Re: Converting PDFs to JPGs shrinks the text.

If you compare the text at the bottom of the PDF to the text at the bottom of the JPG you'll notice that the JPG's text ...

Bonzo wrote:What version of Imagemagick are you using? If it is a standard buid version from the operating system install on a server it could be years out of date.

Converting PDFs to JPGs shrinks the text.

Hello all, My project generates a PDF file, but needs to display a low resolution JPG for the user to approve. I'm using PHP and TCPDF to generate the PDF files and everything is working great there. All the elements are placed in the correct location and at the correct size. However, after a run ...
