I was the one who posted the problem that ImageMagick did not convert
pdf to eps nicely. I tried to modify delegates.xml as you suggested,
but it seems to me that the modification does not affect ImageMagick:
for instance, I deleted the entry about converting pdf to eps, but the
"convert" command did not complain about not finding a delegate.
However, from delegate.xml I find that I don't really need ImageMagick
to convert pdf to eps. I just copy the gs command in the delegate
entry to a shell script, and it works. Thanks for the hint!

Your welcome. I ended up just executing gs as well. I was wanting to
make png thumbnails of all kinds of uploads (commercial printer) and
it was easier and faster to grab the first page of a pdf with gs the
ImageMagick which was using gs anyways. GS is pretty cool as is
ImageMagick.

I noticed someone writing about imagemagick and remembered
something that
took me an hour or so to figure out.
At the time the MacPorts ImageMagick port did not find /opt/local/
gs for
converting pdf's and ai files. I think that's what I was doing.
I ended up needing to edit
"/opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.8/config/delegates.xml" and fix the
path to
gs (GhostScript).
This may have been fixed or maybe I was doing something weird.
I think the conversion worked from the command line but php5's
Imagick
didn't find gs which kinda makes sense. I couldn't figure out how
to alter
php5/Imagick's environment to have it find gs so I just fixed the
paths in
/opt/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.8/config/delegates.xml.
Maybe this will help someone.
