bitmap (bmp) to ps convertion in linux

jaganprabhu · 12-14-2009, 10:34 AM

Hi all,

I have converted *.bmp to *.ps, but the *.ps image appears to be small
and displayed at the end of the page. How to delete the empty spaces
and make it fit to the page with a full resolution.

I had a similar problem with ps2pdf but i used ps2pdf -dEPSCrop *.ps ,
i got good result

Similarly how to do with bmp to ps conversion? or is there any way to convert bmp to pdf directly with full size fit?

Please help me.

ImageMagick and ghostscript do a pretty good job of this...

Thank you for your reply.

GIMP (Gost image manipulator) i could able to remove the unwanted free areas in my image and could fit to a full view. Then i directly converted from *.bmp to *.pdf

But if i convert to *.ps and then to *.pdf by ps2pdf the command -dEPSCrop is not working to remove the blank areas.

Hi

There's a Perl script called "pdfcrop" that I use a lot. It automagicly removes the unwanted free areas from PDF files. On Debian/Ubuntu it is included in a package called "texlive-extra-utils". I have no idea if it is in Suse. Maybe you can find it if you search for it in yast?
