how to reduce the final size of the pdf

Post by ThRiX »

Hello,
I need to convert six JPG images in a single pdf file, but using the command "convert *. jpg test.pdf" PDF is the file size of 36.2 Mb, while converting the images, with the printing function of the program preview of mac osx, the size for the PDF file is 1.4 Mb, which is the same size as the sum of individual images JPG (232Kb + 296Kb + 304Kb + 216Kb + 188Kb + 184Kb).
If you were to serve, each image is: 1232 x 1753 pixels - 150 pixels per inch - Color Model: RGB - Depth: 8 - Height DPI: 150 - Width DPI: 150.

Thanks
ThRiX

Not sure what you mean by putting several images into one PDF? Do you want them all on the same page or do you want one pdf page per image?

see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#pdf under Postscript/PDF Output Options for compression options.
