I don't think imagemagick is the best tool for this.

However I did recently have success improving scanned receipts (which the scanner gave as JPEG-in-a-PDF) using pdftoimage, then using imagemagick to reduce the size of the image a quarter and convert it to a monochrome PNG. Don't forget +repage when you resize.

Thanks. That's very helpful.
