Hi, first, here's what I'm not looking for:
convert [-density XYZ] some.pdf -resize 250x250 some.png This is "suboptimal" because the PDF is rendered at some density chosen by imagemagick (or at the give one, which some people on the net just seem to chose randomly), and then scaled to the right pixel size afterwards. In particular, this gives bad looking results if the PDF contains very thin lines (which tend to disappear when you scale down to 250x250 from large pixel images) or if you want to render the PDF at a very high resolution (in which case imagemagick internally scales up a pixel image rendered at the ). It would be much cleverer, to render the PDF at the right density which yields an image with the desired pixel size. Manually, I figured out that the desired density should be 56.8. So I used: convert -density 56.8x56.8 some.pdf some.png However, it kind of sucks that you have to perform a manual computation before rendering a PDF. Does imagemagick have a better way of doing this, in particular without a manual compuation? Can I render a PDF at a given pixel size, instead of a given density? Some googling revealed nothing.
