Hi!

I am trying to scale and rotate various images to A4 size, then convert them to PDF and print them. But it does not work in any way reliable. Sometimes the images are printed as expected, sometimes they are rotated if not necessary. Most of the time the images are positioned with their left upper corner within the center of the page. Whatever I try it does not lead to what i'd like to have:

1. make them portrait: shorter sides top and bottom, longer sides left and right.
2. scale them to fit on A4, respecting borders all 1cm.

I've come as far as: Most of the time I get:

Any idea how I could get what I want: this image centered with a border of 1cm on A4 paper?

Post an input image so we can test with your command and then correct it.

Try replacing -page "A4<" with -resize WxH for the WxH corresponding to A4.

Try this
If that works, replace the -size 1000x842 pattern:checkerboard with your image and then replace result.png with your file.pdf

I don't think you need the -trim +repage, but it won't hurt to leave it.
