Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi All,

We are planning to use ImageMagick+GhostScript to process PDF files. The volume to be processed would be around 1,00,000 documents per day. The image operations performed would be some cropping and converting base file to grayscale. We need to identify the hardware size which would handle the processing of the above said. Can you please let us know if any sizing tool is readily available or how can we calculate the hardware in terms of CPU/RAM for the purpose.

Appreciate your quick responses.

Regards,

The answer will depend heavily on the size and complexity of the PDF files, and the extra processing.

For a very simple PDF, my laptop converts in 0.44 seconds. So it could do 196,000 in 24 hours. But a large PDF takes far longer.
