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 <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" /> ----to---> <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" /> – 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
