Question

I was trying to add a text on pdf page 2

by the command

convert -density 300 input.pdf -pointsize 80 -draw "text 400,550 'HeLLO'"  out.pdf

I can add the text on page 1.

But

convert -density 300 input.pdf -pointsize 80 -draw "text 400,550 'HeLLO'"  out.pdf

Wont work on page 2.

I tried to split it and add text one by one but that is too slow.
Is there a way I can draw a text on both page 1 and 2 directly in one command?

Thanks!

Try:

convert -density 300 input.pdf[1] -pointsize 80 -draw "text 400,550 'HeLLO'"  out.pdf

Thinking about this it will only output page 2 and not the whole pdf?

Looking at this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10429311/creating-thumbnail-image-from-the-first-page-of-pdf you should be able to do:

 convert -density 300 input.pdf[0-1] -pointsize 80 -draw "text 400,550 'HeLLO'"  out.pdf
