Re: Converting from jpg or tif to pdf: size of the pdf

Code: Select all

magick in.png -density %[fx:w/2] out.pdf
This will make the PDF 2 inches wide.
Works fine, thanks.

The download page doesn't contain "legacy". Can you explain?
Alternately, just replace convert with magick and IM 7 should run fine.
Yes, thanks.

Installed the last version but old one still comes up.

I just installed ImageMagick-7.0.5-0-Q8-x64-dll.exe but when I say convert -version I still obtain ImageMagick 6.8.9-4 Q8 x64 2014-06-22. How can I cause "convert" to fetch the last version?

Re: Converting from jpg or tif to pdf: size of the pdf

"-density" will change the physical size (in inches or centimetres) of the PDF without changing the pixels. Eg: convert rose: -density 300 out.pdf Does that answer the question? Yes it does. With Acrobat Reader, Document properties, I see the document size decrease when the density increa...

Converting from jpg or tif to pdf: size of the pdf

How can I change the size (in cm or in) of the pdf without changing the resolution? Of course -resize change this size but it also changes the resolution.

an Off Topic forum please!

I think we should have a forum for off-topics like windows tricks, music, card games etc. Often I am too lazy to subscribe to an appropriate forum and when I have a problem somewhere an ImageMagick user can have an idea. :-)

I would rather write a Fortran creating the series of DOS commands, but try the newsgroup alt.msdos.batch

Re: Using the "*" character: order of images

Thanks, it works well with leading zeroes. I am with Windows 10. The order in the pdf is that obtained with dir/on p*.tif.

Using the "*" character: order of images

Suppose I have a set of tif images called p1.tif, p2.tif... p25. tif. If I type convert p*.tif mybook.pdf, how does ImageMagick choose the order of these images in the pdf result? Is it the same order you obtain when you type dir p*.tif in a command prompt window? Can I influence this order?
