Hi Fred,

the -gravity parameter has no effect.

The order of the parameters affects the resulting image. Do you know why ?

If I call:

convert document.pdf -density 240 -compress none -page A4  image.tif

I get a: 

Image Width: 554 Image Length: 123
Resolution: 240, 240 

and the keyword -page a4 seems not to work.

But if I call:

convert -density 240 -compress none -page A4 document.pdf  image.tif

I get a:

Image Width: 1983 Image Length: 2807 
Resolution: 240, 240 

and this is an a4 page image. 
                                    
I've also tried in 2 steps, first I rasterized and got a 554x123 image and
then I tried to pad and get an a4 image but unsuccessfully.

I know that there is a new version with the -extent parameter that should do
what I need.

The problem is that I need an a4 uncopressed image at 240 dpi that I will
convert into afp data stream, because our mainframe fax accepts only this
format.
