PDF to Single, Continuous JPG

Question

I'm looking for a way to convert a PDF to a single, continuous JPG. I've tried:

convert source.pdf output.jpg

But I get all separate pages, eg:

output-1.jpg output-2.jpg output-3.jpg ...

Is there something I'm missing, so that all my pages will be laid out vertically in the resulting JPG, rather than each page to its own jpg?

`convert source.pdf -append output.jpg` makes a single, vertically tiled JPEG for me. — muru, Dec 14 '17 at 15:48
@muru I was going to add that I was able to -append the outputted JPGs after the initial convert statement. This gave me a oneliner. Thanks — unknown6708, Dec 14 '17 at 16:47

In order to skip outputting all the pages to respective JPGs, one must -append in the statement. My final, working statement is

convert -density 300 -append source.pdf output.jpg

@ArunGowda in your `/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml` change `` ----to---> `` – ɹɐqʞɐ zoɹǝɟ Mar 18 '20 at 10:19
Don't disable ImageMagick's security checks to make this work. Use other software where security comes by default. – Sqerstet Jun 08 '20 at 13:56
It's working good for me. – kakadais Apr 11 '22 at 10:46
