PDF to jpeg issue

Post by brandonbelew »

Hello,

I have Version: ImageMagick 6.3.9 03/12/08

I have tried multiple variations and read through several posts on here and have not found a solution.

convert file.pdf[0] -colorspace RGB -density 100x100 -quality 90 file.jpg
convert file.pdf file.jpg

The problem is, the jpg,tif,gif file it generates - won't open in firefox, ie, photoshop, windows preview, etc. The error message in photoshop cs3 is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"

Verbose output here:

Code: Select all

[root@velidux]# convert -verbose file.pdf[0] gogo.jpg
"gs" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 "-sDEVICE=pnmraw" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72" -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 "-sOutputFile=/tmp/magick-XXkmJ71U" "-f/tmp/magick-XX58d8rK" "-f/tmp/magick-XXqe7uSz"

[root@velidux]

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

See if your version of ImageMagick includes JPEG support. Type
  • identify -list format
and ensure the list includes these lines:
  • JPEG* JPEG rw- Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (62)
    JPG* JPEG rw- Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format

It appears that I dont!

I managed to get convert test.pdf['0'] test.gif to work last night - but for some reason running it from the web won't.
I guess back to the drawing board - thanks!

Re: PDF to jpeg issue

Post by magick »

When you build ImageMagick you need to ensure the JPEG libraries and header files are available. After you run the ImageMagick configure script look at the last 50 lines of output and ensure the JPEG library is validated. If not, look at config.log to determine why JPEG failed to validate, fix the problem, and rerun the configure script until JPEG is validated. Now, rebuild ImageMagick and install and then you will be able to read and write JPEG images.
