Make a Mueller Report quilt from the original PDF using Imagemagick

These commands will let you make a thumbnail quilt of all 448 pages of the Mueller Report PDF.

Make a new directory...

mkdir mueller_quilt

...then cd into it.

cd mueller_quilt

Grab a copy of the report:

wget https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf

First install Imagamegick and ghostscript (asuming you are on Mac, and you have Homebrew)

brew install imagemagick

brew install ghostscript

This will split the PDF into 448 individiual PNG files, and scale them to 25% of their original size.

convert -density 72 report.pdf -resize 25% report.png

This will then assemble those PNGs into a quilt 20 pages across

montage null: *.png null: -geometry +0+0 -tile 20x -gravity center report_quilt.png

That's it!
