imagemagick: background stays white

I tried to convert a pdf to an image:

convert -verbose
        -density 150
        -trim example.pdf
        -quality 100
        -background white
         output.png

Unfortunately it seems as if the presence of the background keyword has no influence on the output image because the final background stays transparent.

You also need the "-flatten" option, to compose your transparent image against the white background.

By the way, don't use "-quality 100"; it doesn't mean what you think it does, when writing a PNG file. 95 would work better.
