Hello,
Windows user, last version installed.

Reading this link searching a method to identify when my Production fail to generate a PDF file.
Think that counting how many WHITE there is i can easily identify bad file from good one.

Need to count how many white there is, maybe in percert value. Post thumb to help understand problem:

Find interesting reply in old post:
cconvert bad.pdf -fill white -opaque white -fill black +opaque white -format "%%[fx:100*mean]" info:

but can't understand how read value.

Anyone can help please?

thank you,

convert bad.pdf -fuzz XX% -fill white -opaque white -fill black +opaque white -format "%%[fx:100*mean]" info:

This changes any color within XX% of white to white (-fuzz XX% -fill white -opaque white), then changes anything that is not white to black (-fill black +opaque white), then computes the mean value (in range 0 to 1) of the binary image and multiplies by 100 to get percent white.

thank you for reply fmw42,
