PNG to PDF Issue

[hem100]

Hello All,

I am trying to convert a png file to pdf format. Using a simple command : convert {inputfile} -set units PixelsPerInch -quiet {outputfile} .

The conversion works fine, but the problem is not the entire image is converted. I mean some part around the edges is being cropped out in the generated pdf. Can any body help me in finding out why this is happening ?

The image magick version that I am using is : ImageMagick 6.2.8 08/25/10 Q16

I suggest you upgrade to the current IM. If that doesn't help, put your PNG on a free site and post the URL here.

Does the PNG image contain offset and canvas info? I.e., oFFs and vpAg chunks?
Use "identify -verbose input.png" to find out.
You can remove those with "convert input.png -strip png_without_offsets.png"
and then proceed as before.

Hi,

I used the identify -verbose command, below was the output that i received.

Out of these which are the offset details ?

Sorry, none of those. We only started printing the PNG chunk data within the past few years.
Your IM-6.2.8 (despite the 08/25/10 annotation) is from August 2006.
I'm not sure we stored the canvas back then, either.
You can find out by using a newer version of "identify".

You can find out by using a newer version of "identify".

The new version does provide the chunk information as below :

So does that mean the strip command wont work for the version that is installed currently on my server i.e. IM-6.2.8 ?

Because when I tried the strip command it did not have any impact on the generated pdf. What else can I try to sort out this issue ? And the thing is it happens for all the png file not just in case of certain png files.
