Hello guys,
I have a huge image, lets say 1000x7000 and I would like to convert to PDF, but fit the width in the page and split the height in multiple pages.
When I Use the simple command below, the page in PDF is adjusted according the image size:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16>convert.exe c:\temp\teste.jpg c:\temp\teste.pdf
When I use the -page A4 parameter the Image is resized to fit in one page only:
Code: Select all
convert.exe c:\temp\teste.jpg -page A4 c:\temp\teste.pdf
What parameter should I user?
Thanks in advance!

How many pages do you want to split it across? I'll assume you want 7 pages. You might do it like this:
Code: Select all
convert c:\temp\teste.jpg -crop 1x7@ +repage c:\temp\teste.pdf

Thanks for the answer.
I want as many pages as needed. It could be one, it could be ten. It will depend on the height of the image which can change...

"crop x1000" or some other number might suit your needs better. This would give you 1000 rows per page, but the last page could have fewer.

Thank you again snibgo for the reply.
The "crop" parameter is a improvement, but I would like to have pages in A4 format with margins and centered so People can print in paper. I tried the -page a4 but didin't work with crop.
Any suggestions?

For margins, "-repage" is useful. For example, if your input is 1000 pixels wide:
Code: Select all
convert c:\temp\teste.jpg -crop x1414 -repage 1200x1614+100+100 c:\temp\teste.pdf

Thank you again for the reply but I wasn't able to export in PDF like I expected. I have searched in the community, and in the command line reference but still no solution. It seems to work when I export to gif, but not to pdf..
Here is the link of a image of example and the PDF expected (I converted using PDF printer)

Again, Thank you in advance...

The PDF contains four images, one per page. They have different heights: 1580, 1579, 1580 and 1085.
So you need to explicitly crop with those heights.

The idea would be to use -crop x1580. The last one will be the remainder. If I use:
Code: Select all
convert c:\temp\example.jpg -crop x1580 +repage c:\temp\example.pdf
I will have this:

It's almost what I want, I just need in printable format (A4 with margin).

Above, I suggested you use "-repage" for the margins. Or you may prefer to use "-borders".
