Prepending a pdf and printing

I am attempting to use Imagemagick to clean up a carbon copy scanned pdf, then append it to another pdf, then send it to an output pdf. The problem I'm having is that I either end up with the two pages out of order, or it runs levels on both. I only want it to run levels on the carboncopy, because it makes info.pdf look terrible.
How do I make it only run the levels on the carbon copy, and place info.pdf first in the sequence?
Current command(via a windows shortcut)
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.9-Q16\convert.exe" -density 600 info.pdf -density 600 carboncopy.pdf -level 0%,100%,0.15 output.pdf

You can put brackets around the carbon copy operation like this:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.9-Q16\convert.exe" -density 600 info.pdf ( -density 600 carboncopy.pdf -level 0%,100%,0.15 ) output.pdf

Thanks, that worked.
Now, instead of sending it to output.pdf, how do I print it to a printer named "Automated PDF Converter"
I am trying to use this command(via a windows batch file):
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.9-Q16\convert.exe" -density 600 pack.pdf ( bill.pdf -level 0%%,100%%,0.15 ) | "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.63\bin\gswin32c.exe" -sDEVICE=mswinpr2 -dNoCancel -sOutputFile="%%printer%%Automated PDF Converter"
Which outputs this:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.9-Q16>"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.9-Q16\convert.exe" -density 600 pack.pdf ( bill.pdf -level 0%,100%,0.15 ) | "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.63\bin\gswin32c.exe" -sDEVICE=mswinpr2 -dNoCancel -sOutputFile="%printer%Automated PDF Converter"
