Hello. Which is the best way to obtain a pdf with transparent background starting from a single .png image? I type from command line (the image stands on a white background): Is this the right way to procede? Is there any other thing or option to use?
Thanks for your help.

That will only make pure white transparent. It will leave a white halo around everything.

There are a couple of different methods. See IM examples, postscript to image

for the basic methods.
