Description Yasin A. 2015-04-02 00:42:51 UTC
On Ubuntu using Poppler 0.32.0

Rasterizing a single-page PDF at a 150 DPI resolution using pdftoppm takes about 7600 seconds at ~100%. The same PDF takes about 10 seconds to rasterize using Ghostscript.

I've run the following command for pdftoppm:

pdftoppm -cropbox -thinlinemode solid -r 150 -gray /path/to/slow.pdf /path/to/slow.ppm

And this one for gs:

gs -sDEVICE=tiffgray -sOutputFile=/path/to/slow.tiff -r150 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE /path/to/slow.pdf

Since the PDF is sensitive, I'll need to send it via email to whomever is interested.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I guess you can send it to me, but note i put non public files in the lowest of the stack of priority.

I've just sent the file.

As for the note on priority, that's perfectly understandable. Thanks for the heads-up though.
