Problem converting pdf, works on one but not on other PC

Post by boromb »

Hello!

I must first thank all you who work on this very useful program!

I use IM to convert PDF to Image and to manipulate Images via
command prompt in Windows.

Following works on WinXP with ImageMagick-6.4.8-5-Q16-windows-static.exe

Code: Select all

C:\convert canon_eos_450d.pdf canon_eos_450d.jpg
Same thing doesn't work on a Windows2003 Standard Edition with same IM version
and the same file. I get following output.
C:\>convert canon_eos_450d.pdf canon_eos_450d.jpg
convert: `%s': %s "gswin32c.exe" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -d
NOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dEPSCrop -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 "-sDEVI
CE=bmpsep8" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72" -dUseCIEColor "-s
OutputFile=C:/DOCUME~1/BEST~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/2/magick-XGSoKaBU" "-fC:/DOCUME~1/
BEST~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/2/magick-SddZYBvD" "-fC:/DOCUME~1/BEST~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/
2/magick-u9eQbHWW" @ utility.c/SystemCommand/1829.
convert: Postscript delegate failed `canon_eos_450d.pdf': No such file or direct
ory @ pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/612.
convert: missing an image filename `canon_eos_450d.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImage
Command/2756.
Converting Image to Image works fine!

Regards, Boris

I have found the error!

GhostScript was not installed on the Windows2003 server.

IM installation on my WinXP just worked but on Win3k I needed
to install GhostScript manually.

Regards!
