Readability of TIFs Converted from PDFs

[someuser]

I am converting PDFs to TIFs using Convert.exe. The conversion works but the files are not very readable. My workflow starts with an MS Word template that is saved as a PDF, then converted into a TIF via ImageMagick. The source document is simply a white page with black text, no embedded images or strange fonts. I have tried several parameter combinations and changed my font. So far no luck. Here is my command.

Code: Select all

convert "c:\temp\test.pdf" -monochrome -density 72x72 -compress Group4 -page Letter "c:\temp\test.tif"

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to improve the readability of PDF to TIF conversions? Other formats like PNG and JPG look a bit better, but not good enough.

System Info
ImageMagick Version = 6.6.2-Q16
GhostScript Version = 8.71
OS = Windows 7 x64

Thanks for the help!

Use super sampling:

• convert -density 400x400 image.pdf -resize 25% image.tif

Super sampling did the trick. Thank you Magick!
