Convert PDF to JPG Windows Xp

[Helloworld]

Hi Guys,

I have just installed ImageMagick on my computer and I am unable to convert a PDF or anytype of file format say PNG to JPEG format from the Windows CMD.

The only command can get to run this is one:
Convert logo: logo.gif

When I try something like convert C:\ss.pdf file.jpg
I get the following error

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Zack>convert C:\ss.pdf file.jpg
convert: `%s': %s "gswin32c.exe" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -d

convert: Postscript delegate failed `C:\ss.pdf': No such file or directory.
convert: missing an image filename `file.jpg'.

Can't make heads or tails of it.

Any tips would be much appreciated

Cheers

Working with pdf's you need Ghostscript installed as well. I am not sure in what order you need to install but I would guess Ghostscript first and then Imagemagick. But try installing Ghostscript now and see what happens. If it does not work uninstall both then install in a different order.

Hi Bonzo,

Thanks for the tip I have got it working now.

Thanks again.

I downloaded Ghost Script (and the useful GSView) and got it working without having to reinstall IM.
