Problem converting WMF to JPG

[magick]

Search Google for "libwmf Windows". Download and install libwmf for Windows. This command produces a proper rendering:

• wmf2gd --maxsize -o pict0.png pict0.wmf

Thanks for the info. I tried it. Its better but still off a little.

Here's what it should look like...



Here's the output I got from wmg2gd...



Thoughts?

The answer is outside the scope of this forum, however, try this or some variation of this command:

• wmf2gd --maxwidth=800 --maxheight=300 --maxsize -o pict0.png pict0.wmf

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have an explanation why this command returns the wrong size...

Code: Select all

identify -format "height:%h\nwidth:%w" "C:\temp\junk\pict01.wmf"
height:53
width:52

The actual size is something like...

• height:67
  width:381

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

For WMF images, ImageMagick depends on the libWMF library for the image size. 53x52 is returned by libWMF so either the meta file has this size embedded in it or there is a bug in libWMF. We have many WMF images and they seem to render properly and at the right size. We're not sure why it fails for your WMF image.

In case it helps, our WMF's are extracted (indirectly) from the RTF data stored in IBM/Telelogic DOORS product. I could produce test cases if needed.

The most productive path forward would be to file a bug report with the libWMF developers.

I see the same error while converting the image from pdf to tiff
Is this been solved yet?

Any idea what this means. I am using IM for the first time and I have not been able to open, convert a single pdf file yet.
Is IM this complex to work with?

TIA
