Hi all,

I'm trying to convert http://dl.fullcirclemagazine.org/issue43_en.pdf to jpg images. IM version is 6.6.2-6 2010-09-17 Q16 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Code: Select all

convert issue43_en.pdf images.jpg
Converting is successful without any error or outputs. But those jpg images looks terrible, look different with the origin pdf. It seems like the fonts were replaced.

How do I convert a pdf to a image which looks as same as I see it in pdf viewer?

Try this command:
  • convert -density 400 issue43_en.pdf -resize 25% images.jpg

It works. Thank you very much. -density -- Set the horizontal and vertical resolution of an image for rendering to devices.
