convert: Postscript delegate failed

Post by blahor »

Hello,

I'm experiencing problems trying to convert a pdf to jpg. I have to say that I've used the same routine with dozens of other pdf files and it worked without problems. Don't know what's the problem with this file, it's working fine with Adobe Reader.
link to pdf file

command:

Code: Select all

convert -density 600 foo.pdf -profile WebCoated.icc -strip -quality 100 -resize 2244 bar.jpg
error:

Code: Select all

convert: Postscript delegate failed `profarm6.pdf'.
imagemagick and gs versions:

Code: Select all

k868:~# gs -v
GPL Ghostscript 8.54 (2006-05-17)

convert -v
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 02/10/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
hope someone can help me,
thanks

Are you seeing any other errors, e.g. from Ghostscript? We have had various issues with GS when converting PDFs - most have been fixed by upgrading GS. I am using version 8.63 - your PDF converts fine for me (on Windows).
Regards,
Martin
