bad:
convert file.pdf -density 200x200 file.jpg
good:
convert -density 200x200 file.pdf file.jpg
thanks guys :)
thx man, u saved my day
Re: Imagemagick / Ghostscript: converting a pdf into a jpg
I'm having a related problem --- I have a multipage PDF file which contains one image per page. I have tried using convert to convert that PDF into images (using the %d in the jpg filename) but I'm only getting the first page.
I have used convert in the past to convert multipage PDF files into a sequence of jpgs with no problem. Anyone know why this might now be failing ---
