I am wanting to know how I can take a jpg image that is say 1260px × 1660px and then convert to pdf AND have the pdf dimensions for printing be 8.5x11 instead of the current 17.5 x 23.06 in...

I don't know if I need to do something with dpi?

http://www.listingsmagic.com/photos/98/ ... ochure.pdf - current pdf without resizing

Thanks

Calculate the 'density' of the raster image before generating the PDF. You will need to set both -density and -units

I am not certian if -size is actually involved for PDF though.
