convert -ping option not working for certain PDF files

Post by senthilkumartk »

we are using the imagemagick convert to get the details about a pdf file.
We are using the command imconvert -ping test.pdf info:
This command seems to not work for some of the pdfs.
The command is stuck forever.
Below is the debug output when we ran the command.
C:\Users\smunagal\Downloads>imconvert -ping "test.pdf" -units PixelsPerInch -format " %w \n %h %x \n %[colorspace]" info: -debug all

Are you using the x64 or the x86 version of ImageMagick?
.NET + ImageMagick = Magick.NET https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET, @MagickNET, Donate

Using a shorter filename, the command ...

Code: Select all

convert -ping 001586.pdf info:
... with IM v6.8.7-0 and Ghostscopt 9.07 works fine for me. It takes about 30 seconds on a very busy laptop.

EDIT: My successful test was on x64.
