Hello,

I am trying to convert a PDF to a jpg image with the following command:
*convert item137796_1.pdf test.jpg*
On the most PDF's this is working, but now I get:
*convert: Postscript delegate failed `item137796_1.pdf'.*

The pdf is a valid pdf which I can open in adobe.

My versions are:

Linux 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux (Fedora Core 4) Version: ImageMagick 6.2.0 03/17/05 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org (installed by yum) ghostscript 7.07-25 (thought it maybe had to do something with this...)

So does anyone knows how I can solve this?
Install GhostScript, then reinstall ImageMagick.

I did this, now i do not get an error anymore, bet the jpg that is created contains errors and cannot be displayed

Mike

Well... i just installed the latest GhostScript GPL version 8.45 and i stopped giving me errors now...
but the created jpg cannot be viewed...

any idea's
Some... but not as certain of a cure as last time :(

Try several jpg viewers... if they all cannot display the created jpgs, it would seem more like a creation problem than a display problem... or even a problem with display. I assume your first tried jpg viewer was the ImageMagick display utility.

Perform a conversion on a typical or similar .pdf file that you are willing to make public. Put both the .pdf, and the .jpg on a web site and post links to them in this list. The developers seem to be pretty responsive about corruption, or incompatibilities of their file formats.

Hey,

I tracked down the problem to be a ghostscript problem... when i run the convert command as root it works fine... but as apache (or any other user) it gives me this error:

command: gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile="item137796_1.pdf.jpg" -sDEVICE=jpeg -f"item137796_1.pdf"

Error: /undefinedfilename in (item137796_1.pdf)

Last OS error: 2
GPL Ghostscript 8.54: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

And as i said before... as the root user the command works fine...

Also posted this on the gs mailinglist, but not very responsive over there
Well, not having used Unix for some years now (except for limited use on my web host), and never having used Linux, I should probably shut up... but instead I will babble on and suggest that perhaps it is a permissions problem of some sort... possibly on a temporary directory configured for use by ghostscript, but which is secured for root only access?

Yeah that is the problem, and i do not know how i can find that out.
Already gave all the ghostscript files and font files read and execute rights, but think i am going to try to fedora mailinglist then...

Thanks for your help

Mike
