i've got some strange Problem. I try to convert 10 TIF-files to one PDF-File. The PDF-File looks very nice and the file size is small (around 2,5 mb), but the thumbnails shown by Adobe Reader look horrible. I found out that it has to do something with the used compression of the TIF-Files (Group4-Compression). It looks much better if i use "-compression LZW" but it doubles the filezsize (6 mb).

If i try to save the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro it makes the same filesize (2,5 mb) like imagemagick but the thumbnails look much better. Is there any option for imagemagick to make the thumbnails look better?

i appreciate any kind of help

thanks,
