I can attest that the output PDF seems unusually, and unnecessarily, large.
I converted 3 JPG files, ranging in size from 200k to 400k, to a PDF with convert *.jpg out.pdf The resulting PDF file is 10 MBs. I'm running Kubuntu 9.04. Imagemagick info: convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.4.5 2009-06-04 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC This may, or may not, be apples and oranges, but FWIW, I downloaded the most recent version of Imagemagick on Windows and, using the same 3 input JPG files, created a PDF. The resulting PDF was 1 MB. The Windows box was what I had handy. -- convert: "-quality" ignored in JPG to PDF conversion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396144 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
