| Hi,
|
| For some application I generate a PPM image, then I do:
|
| convert -page A4+0+0 -border 150x150 -bordercolor white xxx.ppm xxx.ps2
| mv xxx.ps2 xxx.ps
| ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 xxx.ps
|
| This worked with ImageMagick 5.5.6 (as included in RHEL3), but with
| newer versions (I tried it with ImageMagick 6.0.7.1 (RHEL4) and 6.2.8.0
| (RHEL5)) the PDF only contains (the correct number of) empty pages :-(.
| Doing ps2pdf on other PS files (e.g. generated by enscript) works ok.
|
| Comparing the .ps2 files, I see for example in the diff output:
|
| (old, working version)
|
| < %%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 835
| < %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 595 835
| < %%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 595 835
|
| (new, not working version)
|
| > %%BoundingBox: 0 -1161 595 -326

| Just patching these BoundingBoxes to the first values doesn't help.
| I guess it just "projects" the page outside the page bounding box.
|
| As I'm slowly running out of systems where I have RHEL3 with the old
| version of ImageMagick installed, I'm really seeking for a solution now.
|
| Any suggestions?
| Thanks,
|
Submit a bug report on the IM bugs forums with links to example images
detailing the problem.
It may be the postscript generator needs tweeking, to generate postive
bounding boxes.
As for a non-IM solution...
Does the NetPBM command pnmtops do the right thing?
This was installed on my fedora system using netpbm-progs
package.

At 300 dpi you can tell she's wearing a swimsuit.
At 600 dpi you can tell it's wet.
At 1200 dpi you can tell it's painted on.
I suppose at 2400 dpi you can tell if the paint is giving her a rash.
