Hi,
I've to add a text to a pdf. I use:

Code: Select all

convert /home/1.pdf -fill black -gravity South -annotate +0+15 'some text here' /home/2.pdf
How can I keep original text resolution?

You PDF is likely vector based-- if so you'll need a PDF editor to add text to the image. If you intent was to rasterize the image and annotate it, use super-sampling like this:

Code: Select all

convert -density 300 /home/1.pdf -fill black -gravity South -annotate +0+15 'some text here' -resize 25% /home/2.pdf
