certain PDF files hang convert

[benparker]

I'm trying to convert the first page of various PDFs to a JPG. Most of the time this works fine, but sometimes a PDF will cause the convert process to hang seemingly forever.

One example is the 2011 Annual Report for Peet's Coffee, available here: http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ ... _ready.pdf

The command is:

Code: Select all

convert peets.pdf[0] peets.jpg

I have a convert process still running after 35+ minutes even with these environment variables set:

Code: Select all

MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT=1
MAGICK_THROTTLE=100
MAGICK_TIME_LIMIT=180

Is this is a bug in ImageMagick or some issue with the PDF? And if it's an issue with the PDF, is there any way to truly enforce the MAGICK_TIME_LIMIT?

This command does not finish quickly for me either and I cancelled it. I am on IM 6.9.1.1 Q16 Mac OSX.

Code: Select all

convert 2011_Peets_Annual_Report_web_ready.pdf[0] peets.jpg

But

Code: Select all

time identify 2011_Peets_Annual_Report_w_ready.pdf

runs is 9 sec and show 67 pages:

Code: Select all

[magick]

We're using ImageMagick 6.9.0-1 and Ghostscript 9.15:

On my INTEL 2.66 GHz Mac OSX running one thread, IM 6.9.1.1, Ghostscript 9.10 and JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (90), it did not finish after 35 minutes and I cancelled it. Something is not right if I can get all 67 pages from identify in 9 sec and the conversion of the first page of size 612x792 does not finish after 35 minutes. Perhaps it is the IM version or the version of GS?

[benparker]

Thanks for your replies! It must be the gs version, as I'm also using Ghostscript 9.10. IM version is 6.9.0-0.

I tried compiling ghostscript from source, but I'm running into errors so I'll need some time to go sort that out.

So what about MAGICK_TIME_LIMIT? It doesn't seem to be enforced when there is a rogue ghostscript process. Am I missing something or is that still a bug in this scenario?
