keeping same orientation using -define pdf:fit-page=548x

[henryoswald]

Hi,

I am using the new "convert -define pdf:fit-page=548x" which was kindly added in 7.8.8-8 (1)

When I run the following command against a landscape image it auto converts it to portrait

Code: Select all

convert -density 300 -define pdf:fit-page=548x poster.pdf[0] -resize 548x poster.png

i've tried -auto-orient but that did not help. Is there an option to enforce that the same orientation is kept during the conversion process?

Thanks in advance.

7.8.8-8

There is no such version. Do you mean 6.8.8.8 beta? 6.8.8.7 is the current release and that does not include this feature.


Perhaps you could post a link to your pdf file or an example one that shows this issue. You can upload to dropbox.com (public folder) and put a link here.

I cannot duplicate your problem using IM 6.8.8.8 beta Q16 Mac OSX using

Code: Select all

convert logo: logo.pdf
im6888beta convert -density 300 -define pdf:fit-page=548x logo.pdf -resize 548x logo_tmp.png

The result is still landscape.

Perhaps there is some other information in your PDF that makes it re-orient to portrait.


What version of IM are you using and what platform?

You are correct, I ment 6.8.8-8 which I built from source running on ubuntu server 12.04

Here is a file which coverts to portrait https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2333308/poster.pdf

when converting without "-define pdf:fit-page=548x" the orientation is kept the same.

Advice is very welcome.

It looks like there is an extra option that forces Ghostscript to not change the orientation. I will look into it.

That option does not work... I did however manage to fix it. Since you are building from source you should change -dPDFFitPage to -dPSFitPage on line 648 of coders\pdf.c
