How to convert png to pdf with A4 dimensions using imagemagick?
I'm trying to use imagemagick
cli in combination with powershell to convert a png image into pdf. I would like for the resulting pdf to be A4 landscape.
This is what I have come up with so far:
magick overview.png -page a4 -rotate -90 overview.pdf
Unfortunately my resulting pdf is not A4, being approximately 4x5 inches.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, since based on the docs a4
is a valid value for the -page
parameter.
How can I convert the png to a pdf with A4 dimensions using the -page
parameter?
Solution 1:
-page does not resize the image.
In ImageMagick, since about 7.1.0.13 or later, you can do
magick input -set option:dims "%[papersize:A4]" -resize "%[dims]" output
Or simpler,
magick input -resize "%[papersize:A4]" output
in order to resize to a given page size by name, such as A4.
(The name "dims" is not required. You can call it anything you want)
