choppy line when converting pdf to gif

Post by gerber »

Dear all

We are converting pdf-files in to gif's using this command:
convert -density 100 -sharpen 3x1 -enhance bki_de_c.pdf bki_de_c.gif
I also tried to reduces the convert command to the essential stuff, but hat did not change a thing:
convert -density 100 bki_de_c.pdf bki_de_c.gif

With these versions the result is as expected:
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.1-0 2010-12-02 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
GPL Ghostscript 8.70 (2009-07-31)
Linux slfpc-285 2.6.31-23-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 28 21:32:57 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

With these versions the result does not satisfy our needs.
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 2010-12-02 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
GPL Ghostscript 8.71 (2010-02-10)
Linux integrationwis 2.6.32-24-server #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:21:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The gray line, presenting the county border becomes choppy.
I happily provide you the source(pdf) and output(gif) files.

Thanks for your help & best regards
