What do you mean by lower resolution? Do you mean the quality is poorer or do you mean that the print resolution is differernt.
If the latter, then you can convert the density you want when you combine the pdfs (see -density http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#density) If the former, you have to realize that IM converts vector to raster then back to vector again. So it is not the best way to combine pdf files. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#vector http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#pdf The only way to improve quality is to read the pdf at a higher density, then resize down by the same factor (supersample) you can try convert -density 144 file1.pdf file2.pfd -resize 50% new.pdf >Hello, >I'm a new IM user, and I have run into the following problem: > >1) I created two .pdf files with a scanner (from handwritten notes) >2) I combined them into one with the command > "convert file1.pdf file2.pdf new.pdf" >3) However, the resulting file, new.pdf has a lower resolution than the >original files, file1.pdf and file2.pdf. > >I have managed to figure out that one can achieve the intended result with >the application pdftk (pdf toolkit), but I am interested whether it is >possible to do this also with IM? >Regards, >bostjanv >-- _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
