Hi,

I'm coming across a problem while converting PDF to JPG, GIF or PNG It shows some unwanted horizontal rule in converted files whereas there is no rule in the PDF/PS file. I'm using the following command line:

Code: Select all

convert -density 300 -background white Table118.pdf -trim -scale 2000x1000 Table118.jpg

If I re-apply this code on the same file it surprisingly change the "positions of horizontal rules" and the file size. After every compilation I get a new file size and new positions of horizontal rules.

Can you please look into this and do the needful.


Thanks,
Anil

several possible issues.

1) jpg is lossy as it does compression and may change your output slightly if very thin lines. so try png or gif

2) try supersampling (more) --- set the -density much higher and then scale down appropriately or use -resize (in place of -scale) which uses a better filter. Unfortunately this will be slower.

3) provide a link to your image. The IM folks cannot verify if there is a bug without an image to duplicate the problem,
