Hi!
*i'm sorry if the question was posted before but i've not found it by search engine.

I've to convert some pdf files into pictures and resize the result because my original pdf have a very small size. The content of these pdf are essentially text.
for this I use :

Code: Select all

 "convert -resize **x** file.pdf file.jpg
But my problem is the quality of the result is very poor (some bad smooth on the letters make text unreadable).
I think the problem is the pdf pages are converted in bitmap and resized after.

Is it possible to tell "convert" to resize my pdf in a "vector" way to make text quality fine before convert to jpg ??

sorry about my poor english i'm french

Thanks!

Try this command:
  • convert -density 400 file.pdf -resize 25% -quality 92 file.jpg
