 Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 5:45 pm Post subject: [solved] jpg-pdf conversion: pdf 10 times larger |
 |
|
hi,
probably the last big package update broke jpg-to-pdf-conversion on my system. I'm heavily depending on imagemagick's 'convert' to process bunches of JPGs at a time and put them into one single PDF file. but today, suddenly, the PDFs I ended up with were more than 10 times larger than they should be, and than they have always been. does anybody have an idea what could be gone wrong here?
the usual command is:
| Code: | | convert RIM*.JPG -rotate 90 -quality 60 foo.pdf |
which normally gives me PDFs of about 70% of the size of all the processed JPGs.
but now every JPG of 1,5 MB gets bloated to 20 MB of PDF. why?
I tried to mess around with -resize and -quality. with -resize I can make them smaller, but even when the resulting PDF is almost not readable anymore it is still bigger than the original JPG.
as for the -quality option: strange enough, this does not have ANY influence. whatever I put there, from 1 to 100, the PDF is the same size and picture quality.
so it seems like something broke the jpg-2pdf-converter. but which one is used by imagemagick? inbuilt?
I also tried to remerge imagemagick, pyPdf, qpdf and pdfbox.
now I am clueless what elso to do. please help.

Not sure. Either builtin or ghostscript-gpl which is a dependency, I guess.
I'd start by checking the last entries in /var/log/emerge.log and seeing if either imagemagick or ghostscript-gpl have been updated lately. You can try downgrading one or both of these and see what happens.
You can force an specific version by doing
| Code: | | $ emerge -va =package-<version> |

freifunk_connewitz, i92guboj ...
I don't think it has any relation to the recent ghostscript-gpl-9.10-r2 update as I'm using it with media-gfx/graphicsmagick and don't have a similar problem ...
| Code: | % ls
1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg
% du -lh
3.8M .
% convert *.jpg -rotate 90 -quality 60 out.pdf
% ls -lh out.pdf
-rw------- 1 khayyam users 1.1M 2014-02-20 22:30 out.pdf |

thanks a lot, i92guboj and khayyam
I downgraded imagemagick from 6.8.8.5 to 6.8.6.8 and convert works as before. gonna try to file the bug to them...
and maybe I'll give graphicsmagick a try. how come they are allowed to reside on the same system but using the same commands (convert)? |

freifunk_connewitz ... media-gfx/grahicsmagick has a "imagemagick" useflag that will have graphicsmagick act as a drop in replacement. Obviously with this useflag enabled imagemagick can't be installed at the same time.

yeah, just read that thread 
but IF I have both installed, how do I make use of GM's 'convert' command? |

There's a chance that the problem in is Gentoo's side, though. Just keep that in mind. This is the diff between the two ebuilds.

As you see, there have been some changes regarding pdf and jpeg2k (not sure if that will affect regular jpeg files though).
mupdf has been introduced as a dependency, I don't know if that could have caused the issues you are describing. I tell you this just so you keep it in mind when reporting it upstream. |

freifunk_connewitz ... 'convert' is just a symlink to 'gm' (which is the result of 'magick-compat' enabled by the 'imagemagick' useflag) without such a symlink one would call 'gm' directly, ie:
| Code: | | % gm convert *.jpg -rotate 90 -quality 60 out.pdf |

thank you both!
I filed the bug upstream, mentioning your considerations. let's see what they say. |

the imagemagick guys came back with a solution:
add
to the command. that did it.
so obviously, since version 6.8.8, you have to issue this additional option with every command in order to have pdfs with jpeg compressed images when putting together jpeg files :/
but, well, it works again as expected. |
