I am converting gif from the pdf, but after gif conversion the quality if the image is not good, text are blurry and not properly readable.

I am shrinking the pdf and using -resize value 32%. i have to generate small image as compare to pdf hence i need to resize. please suggest on it.

$cmd = '/usr/local/bin/convert -debug All -pointsize 72 -trim +repage -density 300 -resize 32% -quality 100 -append -transparent "#FFFFFF" new.pdf test1.gif';
exec($cmd, $output);


Thanks,

You should read your input PDF before any operators (-trim, -resize, -append, -transparent) for proper IM syntax. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#cmdline

I do not know that -pointsize does anything nor -quality. The latter does not affect gif, since there is no compression..

Try (I presume your PDF input is multipage)
If that does not work, increase the density and if you want, then decrease the resize % proportionally. This will get a better readable gif output. You should be able to remove -pointsize and -quality and get the same result.
