Vector Text Output PDF

Post by KandisZZ »

Hello IM Forum.
I know its not possible directly to output vectorized text pdf.
I need to Output a pdf with Vectorized Text on a image background (Vector because of better Print quality).

My questions:
1.Is it possible to convert background Images + Text, and get a vectorized pdf with IM & Ghostscript?
2. Is there a other way to get vectorized Text with IM?

thx
Marc.

1. Not with IM, no. GS might be able to do this.

2. No, IM can't create vector text.

Various publishing and word-processing software can easily handle vector text on raster images. OpenOffice is an obvious choice. For more complex vector graphics, Inkscape might be useful.
