PDF text as a vector

Hello,
With Image Magick 6.4 on a ubuntu 5.10 I send this command

Code: Select all

/usr/local/im640/bin/convert -background "cmyk(0,0,0,0)" -fill "cmyk(50,50,0,0)" -font Palatino-Bold -pointsize 80 label:Artification4 testConvert1.pdf
Image Magick gives me this warning :

Code: Select all

convert: delegate library support not built-in `/usr/local/im640/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.0/config//usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/p052004l.pfb' (Freetype).
He generates the PDF. In the PDF the text is not vectorized, and whe I analyze the PDF with Acrobat, Acrobat says the the image inside the PDF is a RGB image.
Is it possible to generate a vectorized CMYK PDF with Image Magick?
Best regards.
Jean Tinguely Awais.

ImageMagick primarily deals with pixels. In a few cases it can read and write vectors. However, in your case the vectors are rendered to pixels before they are saved to PDF.
