Hi - I'm wondering if there's a way to smooth fonts when converting EPS/PDF files. I've seen other services do this. E.g. small text or very fine typefaces, aren't smoothed/alias. I'm only ripping to 300dpi and it's not like it's jagged. But the result I'm looking for is similar to what happens when I open a PDF in Photoshop and turn aliasing on upon import. Much nicer looking result. I'm sure there's something in IM .... but ... what is it?

Thanks much!

Supersample. Try something like:

• convert -density 400 image.pdf -resize 25% image.png

Thanks - I was doing that already. Turns out the 'fonts' in the pdf were already rasterized! Doh! Ripping the original returns nice results.
