Hi!
My question is: does anyone know which parameters I should set in imagemagick console to convert transparent PDF (with one page) into transparent GIF?
I tried some cases, but still haven't received good result.

See under link three files:
1. test.pdf - source file I try
2. test.gif - the best result I've received
3. test_good.gif - this one I created via photoshop - it's expecting result.

Please, help with that!

Regards.

According to Adobe Reader XI, your test.pdf doesn't have transparency.

Yeah, just checked again - and found that source file without transparency. I'm sorry for spent time.

how have you checked transparency via Adobe Reader XI? As I know only Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator supports this.

In Adobe Reader: Edit, Preferences, Page Display, tick box "Show transparency grid".
