Because of the size and quality, i would first split the pdf and rasterize only pages who has to be modified: pdftk multipagepdffile burst then i would rasterize what i need: (open it with gimp -> will do automatically rasterize) copy the sign and what all has to be filled in (gimp is also able to write), and "export as pdf" and now i would combine all pages again: pdftk pdf1 pdf2 pdf3 .... cat output newpdf this way it will save you a huge amount of filesize..... simoN Am 19.11.18 um 16:38 schrieb Istvan Gabor:

Hello:
I have a normal pdf file (with text and embedded fonts) that I would like to convert to a pdf file which has all the pages as embedded images. In other words I want to imitate the process of printing the pdf out to paper sheets and then scanning the printed pages to a pdf file.
I guess this should be doable using the command line, but which program? ghostscipt or imagemagick etc, and how to do it exactly?
I found a solution, imagemagick's convert command can be used to rasterize pdf files:
convert -density 300 input.pdf output.pdf
Other solutions are welcome!
