Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514321

Conversion to 3g is broken in new version, it seems that it does not know 3g prefix

We do not support a 3g format but we do support g3. The g3 format is a fixed width of 1728 as required by the standard. You can improve the appearance of the fax with the density option:

• convert -density 200 resume.pdf g3:im.fax

Given this clarification, what exactly is the bug this user is concerned about?

convert resume.pdf 3g:resume.002 give on 7:6.4.8.0-1 a file that is completly broken ie 3g\:resume.002 (ie http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepor ... bug=514321) that is bitmap pdf file

resume.pdf is
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepor ... bug=514321

Once again there is no 3g format. If you use 3g:resume.002 ImageMagick will create a file on disk called '3g:resume.002' in the PDF format since the original image is in the PDF format. If you use g3:resume.002 it creates a perfectly usable file called resume.002 in the G3 fax format. You can display the resume.002 file that the user included in the bug report like this:

• display g3:resume.002

It displays fine for us. Given this discussion, can you let us know where the bug is. So far ImageMagick appears to be behaving as expected.

Ok thank you to taking care of dyslexic people.

It is a user error, and density work well
