LInux Tips

Convert pdf to jpeg in Linux from command prompt

First you need to have ImageMagick installed in your Linux machine.

To install ImageMagick in Debian, run the following command:

$ sudo aptitude install imagemagick

To convert pdf file to image use the ‘convert‘ command:

$ convert doc.pdf doc.jpeg

convert to tiff

$ convert doc.pdf doc.tiff

If the default output is too low resolution, you can add “-density NNN”, where NNN is a number.

EG: I just did an A4 PDF to a PNG, but it came out too small. To make it bigger/higher res, I did: “convert -density 300 input.pdf output.png”
