Hey Guys,

I am trying to convert a given PDF to an image using ImageMagick (with ghostwriter) (both is installed by my webprovider).

It works but :

• I get a very unsharp/blurred result.
• It looks like a very bad PDF-intepreter: diffrent spaces between letters etc.

The PDF: http://flora-apo.info.dd18202.kasserver ... /image.pdf
The created image: http://flora-apo.info.dd18202.kasserver ... /image.png or http://flora-apo.info.dd18202.kasserver ... /image.jpg

The Code: Is there something wrong/bad with my code, how can i optimize it?
I played around with -density but it doesnt give me a better result...

Thank you in advance,
Kai

Move the density option before your image filename.

Like this?
No change in "sharpness" and the letter spacing/position...

Thanks,
Kai

That makes quite a bit of difference with the quality Magick but the letter spacing still goes wrong.

Like this Kai: First code of Kai:

Secobnd code of Magicks

Note: for some reason the post image and URL tags have stopped working for me!

Thank you

that works cool, its really sharper!

But: Please take a look at http://flora-apo.info.dd18202.kasserver ... /image.jpg
How can I get a better solution with the letter spacing etc. Is there something wrong with Ghostscript?

Thanks...

Now try:

• convert -density 300x300 image.pdf -resize 50% -append -quality 100 image.jpg

Any letter spacing problems would be with Ghostscript. Try posting to the Ghostscript mailing lists.
