Hello *, I have a webapp (php) that creates some pdf files and then it needs to create corresponding thumbnail previews.
The app calls a bash script, which in turn calls another script through "sudo -E" to avoid file permission problems (yes, terrible hack I know). That last script, running with root permissions, calls pdftoppm to create the thumbnail. The exact command is: cat ancona.txt.^00.1.pdf | pdftoppm -f 1 -l 1 -r 25 -jpeg - ancona.txt^00.1 Now all this stuff on my notebook (ubuntu desktop 11.04 32 bit) works without problems. The exact same code, on a real server (ubuntu 11.04 server x86_64) makes pdftoppm hang while eating 100% of the cpu... I'm not sure the -E option to sudo is actually working, but I'm not sure about how to check that either... Any clues? _______________________________________________ poppler mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
