Get rid of quality issues when modifying a PDF with ImageMagick -


our goal take user uploaded pdf , put "stamp" (a box background color + text) on top left corner. "stamp" part works well, pass pdf through imagemagick quality problems - when original pdf had kind of artefacts.

this screenshot source pdf (black areas added privacy reasons). https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6271307/screen%20shot%202016-09-22%20at%2015.18.49.png can see quality isn't because scanned copy machine.

after being processed imagemagick result looks this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6271307/screen%20shot%202016-09-22%20at%2015.19.15.png

this call being made:

'/usr/bin/convert' +profile '*' -compress jpeg -quality 90 -density 180 -pointsize 10 -fill 'rgba(220, 220, 220, 0.75)' -stroke 'rgba(220, 220, 220, 0.75)' -draw 'rectangle 40,20,491,100' -stroke '#000000' -font courier -draw "text 48,47 'vermittlernummer gesellschaft'" -draw "text 48,81 '70_202_3297'" mysource.pdf mytarget.pdf
  • if leave out "-compress jpeg -quality 90" parameters result looks same, it's bit bigger in file size.
  • if leave out "-density 180" parameter result looks lot worse

what options of imagemagick can me better result?

try first converting pdf png. reason because downloaded .png image:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6271307/screen%20shot%202016-09-22%20at%2015.18.49.png

and ran code: 

  convert -density 180  +profile '*' -compress jpeg -quality 90 -pointsize 10 -fill 'rgba(220, 220, 220, 0.75)' -stroke 'rgba(220, 220, 220, 0.75)' -draw 'rectangle 40,20,491,100' -stroke '#000000' -font courier -draw "text 48,47 'vermittlernummer gesellschaft'" -draw "text 48,81 '70_202_3297'" test.png mytarget.png

and got result:

enter image description here

which looks me. outputted .png using code pdf looks -- stackoverflow doesn't seem allow pdf uploads.

let me know if doesn't work!

cheers.

angular - Is it possible to get native element for formControl? -

i've got angular2 reactive form . created formcontrol s , assigned input fields by [formcontrol]=... . understand creates nativeelement <-> formcontrol link. my question: possible nativeelement formcontrol ? wanna myformcontrol.nativeelement.focus() i can share 1 terrible solution works me. in reactive forms can use either 1) formcontroldirective ts mycontrol = new formcontrol('') template <input type="text" [formcontrol]="mycontrol"> or 2) formcontrolname ts myform: formgroup; constructor(private fb: formbuilder) {} ngoninit() { this.myform = this.fb.group({ foo: '' }); } template <form [formgroup]="myform"> <input type="text" formcontrolname="foo"> </form> so these directives write patch like 1) formcontroldirective const originformcontrolngonchanges = formcontroldirective.prototype.ngonchanges; formcontroldirective.proto

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this
