Vector-based PDF

[cavh]

Hello all. I know nothing about graphics or design, so please bear with my newbie questions .

I have a .png file which I would like to use for my business card. The business card supplier needs a 'vector-based PDF' of this PNG file. I have both Imagemagick and Inkscape installed but cannot work out how to convert it. Do I need some other software or can you point me to how to do it in either of these applications? Thanks very much.

PDF itself is vector based so that guy sounds like he was being terribly descriptive to the point of confusion.

you can use a convert filename.png output.pdf as described here.

Thanks for your reply, mortem. I can convert the png to a pdf using imagemagick, that was helpful.

tell your printer to stop being so "by the book" and just print what you've got. (if it is good enough resolution!).


there are tracing plugings for vectorizing a bitmap ( which your .png is..) but it would't work with your business card i don't think.

you would have to redesign the business card in a vector program like inkscape (for exapmple)



i would need to know more bout your card to help you further..
