I have been using the batch method to convert any number of PDFs to any other format in any DPI (Best way to convert pdf files to tiff files).

ImageMagick was updated (I run ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16), and I though the old command:

convert -density 300 -compress LZW testfile.pdf testfile.jpg

could just be changed to:

magick -density 300 -compress LZW testfile.pdf testfile.jpg

Both the 'density' and the 'compress' functionality appear in the new manual... It does create a jpg, however, the DPI is 96 (default?) and it seems that the actual dimensions of the figure increases a lot.

(The actual text in the .bat file is

for %%f in (%*) DO "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16\magick.exe" -density 300 -compress LZW %%f %%f.jpg

but the issue also appears when I run the simplified code above...

This may be a more appropriate question for SuperUser – Hack-R Nov 14 '16 at 22:52
You seem confused - I think your command creates a JPG from a PDF not a PDF from a JPEG. You have the input and output files switched and also mis-spell `LZW` – Mark Setchell Nov 14 '16 at 23:18
Oops, I see why you think I am confused. Fixed the text now. – Luc Nov 15 '16 at 22:28
