converting pdf files with Imagemagick

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 21:58 — Anonymous

I a trying to download technical articles in pdf to my Kindle. Regular pdf's do not convert well. I am trying to use the Imagemagick command "convert" to convert the pdf files to bitmapped images, which look better. I use the command "convert -density 120x120 file.pdf fileout.pdf" The output looks OK in Preview or Adobe Reader, but when I open fileout.pdf in Stanza, only the first page is displayed. Has anybody had any experience with this approach?

I am running Stanza 1.0.0-beta13 on Mac OS X 10.4.11.
