[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#611027: RE : Bug#611027: /usr/bin/convert: Convert shall not change the resolution by itself

[yellow protoss]

Salut Bastien,

To get automatically the page count of a pdf file, you can use the pdfinfo
program from the poppler-utils package for example.
But maybe it can detect the resolution of the PDF as well... I would check
in this direction ....

I hope it helps

Kind regards
F.
