The crash shouldn't occur in the latest version of Acroreader (was a bug in the older 11 versions). Or simply use a different PDF reader (for example pdfxcview, which can be installed as portable version; at least on Windows). You miss a complete description about the possible problems plus their ...

I donno what you have done, so it's hard to say
Some additional info about compiling it on Linux Mint can be found in my documentation (drops.pdf, page 6-7) for the drops module (ConTeXt).

Can you explain why you don't use the Imagemagick software that is shipped with your Linux distribution? It supports JPG out of the box, so no need to compile it yourself.
Also: using rpm's from a different Linux distribution is a bad idea.

I use Redmond Path to edit the $PATH environment variable on Windows. Only one file, no installation needed.

Normal JPG does not support transparency (only J2K). You can try to use PNG instead, but I doubt that the transparency will survive the 'flattening'. Just give it a try.

I also made a syntax check in Acrobat, no PDF problems found.

I guess you are right. But at some point of the conversion from postscript you have to 'draw' the barcode lines.

You can also try to add '+antialias' to your command line. Anti-aliasing pixels are not helpful when it comes to bar codes.

I just installed the alpha 7.0 to a local directory (/home/indiego/imagemagick7). The binary 'magick' is called over $IMCONV (latest 6.8 version is installed global). Sadly I get an exception, when I call my batch file. OS is Linux Mint Mate Edition 64bit. magick: MagickWand/operation.c:3428 ...

Is there a deeper reason why the official version number differs from the one reported by 'identify -version'?

I just released the first draft of my ConTeXt module, which heavily relies on the shadow functionality of IM. My thanks to all the developers and supporters here. :D Peter ps: for the curious https://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/?key=caiCGLasLFmJ the zip also contains the PDF ...

Hi, I'm trying to get the version number of the installed IM. I use the 'identify' command, because its name does not change in IM7. identify -list configure just types the content of 'configure.xml', which is sadly totally outdated (6.6.2-5). [ImageMagick-6.8.0-4-Q16-windows.zip] identify -version ...

@snibgo: better stay with this version. the png is transparent here (IM 6.8.0-4 Q16, Windows 7)

Fails here too (Win7-64bit, 8GB RAM) Version: ImageMagick 6.8.0-1 2012-10-15 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC Features: OpenMP f:\Downloads>convert BALTIMORE201210010200_21.JP2 baltimore.jpg error: cannot decode code stream convert.exe: unable ...

I had similar experiences with Gimp and several image viewers. The problem is not the png itself (checked with tweakpng), but that those viewers don't handle the indexed pngs (256colors) right. To get rid of the indexed (paletted) png save it with the prefix 'png32:'. It can also be helpful to save ...

I have taken this from the draft documentation of my upcoming ConTeXt module. Hope this helps... Pitfalls: the 'convert.exe' problem There is an equal named program on Windows OS, that converts the file system of a given drive from fat32 to ntfs. If this program is called instead of the IM binary ...
