Oohhhhhh.... Thanks a bunch, Fred!

In this case, all this time since IM7 is out, I didn't really grok the fine differences of running 'magick ...' and 'magick convert ...' !
I'll have to dig deeper into the docu then. Any hints with direct links? Otherwise, I'll dig myself....

I may add the following info. Running this command:
works as expected and prints:

In the IM documentation about the '-set'/'+set' command line options (here: https://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#set ) we can find this example: magick convert rose: \ -set option:rosesize '%wx%h' \ -delete 0 \ label:'%[rosesize]' \ label_size_of_rose.gif This works as ...

I tried it but unfortunatelly the transparency is also lost. I end up with a white background. What sort of "transparency"? -- You should know that PostScript does not natively support transparency. (Incidentally, this was one of the motivations for Adobe to leave PostScript behind and develop a ...

Ping me here (or mail "pipitas AT gmail DOT com"), if you still need help. Is this with PHP?
(BTW, you cannot load JPEGs into a PDF viewer...)

I checked out a fresh instance from SVN (old one would keep choking about the "invalid XML" -- I guess somehow my old checkout was corrupted).

This one does build flawlessly.

Check MagickCore/method-attributes.h. There is a file named method-attribute.h (not method-attribute s .h ). An identically named file is in MagickWand/method-attribute.h . Do you see the MagickCoreSignature define? No, in neither of the above files. If so, your build is picking up an older method ...

to convert say a range of say the 1st to 5th page of a multipage pdf into single images is fairly straight forward using:
convert file.pdf[1-5] file.jpg

Actually, page counting is zero-based. So 1st to 5th page will require to use [0-4].

[1-5] will give you the second to sixth page.

Code: Select all

convert file.pdf[5--1] file.jpg

The -1 is the last image in the sequence. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#list_ops

To do fifth to last, you'd actually have to specify file.pdf[4--1] -- with file.pdf[5--1] you'd get sixth to last page.

I'm building ImageMagick 7 (current SVN checkout r19059) on a Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.5) system (with lots of MacPorts software). Up until a few days ago this worked on a regular basis. Since then I see this: kp@mbp:$> ./configure [...my options...] && make ...

Try:
(Strictly speaking, `sudo` is only required for the first command, and isn't required for the last two commands -- but I want to see if it is in your $PATH.)

There is a small typo here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

It abbreviates the newly supported format Better Portable Graphics as BGP (wrong) instead of BPG (correct).

Which version was the first to support BPG, BTW?

I want draw your attention to a new variant of TIFF -- TIFF/A. It is so new that its formal specification is not even completed yet. :-) The initiative's website is here: http://tiff-a.org/ . Their purpose is to define an official spec for TIFFs which are guaranteed to "survive" long-term ...

...but 'clipboard:' works only on Windows, not on other OS platforms.

Dirk, will you also be monitoring the "issues" submitted there?
