However a 10 pixel difference in width will not be noticed -- or important -- in the two figures, especially since pdflatex converts them to a different format anyway. Yes, this is helpful information. Many thanks, Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Tomas, mogrify -resize 612x792 .pdf When I ran pdfinfo on the changed file it showed the size as 512 x 792.

What was your mogrify command line when you expected 6xx, but got 5xx?

I use the --no-tidy error to produce an log file, but it makes no sense to me. The landscape oriented file is 792 x 1224 points and I want to use pdfjam to fit it on a letter size page: 792 x 612. Found a working solution: 'mogrify -resize ...'. What's interesting is that I specified 612 pixels on the command line but mogrify set the value at 512 pixels. That's easy to live with.
