q16 vs q8 converting from pdf

Post by mtdimich »

I am trying to simply convert all the pages of a pdf into png images. It works great when I use q16, but with the same command will not generate all the pages in q8. Can someone help me out with why this would happen?

Thanks,

Matt

ImageMagick-6.2.9-Q*

convert pdftest1.pdf -colors 255 pngoutput44.png

When I run the convert with Q16 I get all pages and when I run convert with Q8 I only get the first page.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help!
