ImageMagick (resizing)

[Eric the Red]

I'm trying to convert a .PDF to a .BMP

So I tried,

convert "thedoc.pdf" "converted.bmp"

This does indeed converted the .PDF to the .BMP however, it seems like the resolution is like 50% of what the .PDF resolution was. This makes reading any text in my .BMP impossible. How do I keep the quality the same in the output as it was in the orginal PFD input?

According to this, you need to run this command to get it how you want:

convert -density 600x600 -resize 800x560 -quality 90 "thedoc.pdf" "converted.bmp"

Why are you trying to convert it to BMP, though, instead of JPG or even PNG? BMP takes up a lot of space for a horrible quality image.

Try using the GIMP.
