Convertion of .txt to .pdf is deleting part of the content.

[claudiogc]

Hello, guys!

I'm using "convert" to convert a .txt file to .pdf, but the problem is this conversion is cutting part of the lines. All lines that exceed the margin are deleted. I don't know how explain better so, take a look in these two pictures. My text editor is Sublime Text 2, and i'm using Debian Wheezy 7 with ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2014-03-08 Q16. The scroll bar at the bottom does not appear, so he is really deleting part of the content.

I pasted a text from bbc.com just to show a test. I'm using the following command to do that convertion. I'm using these args because i want the best quality to my .pdf file.

Code: Select all

convert -geometry 1600x1600 -density 200x200 -quality 100 test.txt test.pdf

If i enter with the following command my .pdf gets very ugly! Looks like they are in bold or, i don't know, blurry.

Code: Select all

convert test.txt test.pdf

Thank you!

I wouldn't use ImageMagick for this. IM converts the text into pixels, then stores these pixels in the PDF.

But a PDF can store text directly. Then you can search the PDF files, change the font size, and so on.
