I’m trying to use the command line program convert to take a PDF into an image (JPEG or PNG). Here is one of the PDFs that I’m trying to convert.
I want the program to trim off the excess white-space and return a high enough quality image that the superscripts can be read with ease.
This is my current best attempt. As you can see, the trimming works fine, I just need to sharpen up the resolution quite a bit. This is the command I’m using:
convert -trim 24.pdf -resize 500% -quality 100 -sharpen 0x1.0 24-11.jpg
I’ve tried to make the following conscious decisions:
- resize it larger (has no effect on the resolution)
- make the quality as high as possible
- use the
-sharpen(I’ve tried a range of values)
Any suggestions please on getting the resolution of the image in the final PNG/JPEG higher would be greatly appreciated!
