Hi

I need to crop an A3 pdf in two A4 pdf.

Is possible to add this feature?

thank you

It is already present, but it is probably NOT what you are looking for!!!

See A word about Vector Image formats

Before you proceed any further...

excuse me but i not understand the document.

I need a command like
convert pippo.pdf -crop 50% pippo50.pdf

is possible?

thanks

Yes but the result will be a array of pixels in a PDF document at 72 dpi. It will probably not look very good due to the conversion.

As I said IM is NOT a vector image processor, and PDF is a vector image.

Re-read the above link carefully, and try to understand the difference between a vector and raster image. OR ask a question in the "users" forum, as a separate topic (I'll stay out of it so you can see what other people say.

i know the difference from raster and vector image;
Ok, if you know a free application that make this advise me.

Thanks for your support.

bye

Look at the various PDF and postscript command line utilities. Some will enlarge images to print a single page over multiple pages. One of these utilities should do what you want, without any loss of quality.

However this is outside the scope of these forums.
