Error converting PDF to TIFF via Linux command line!

Post by LAPIII »

Using Linux Mint 11 LXDE, I ran this to covert a pdf to tiff with Imagemagick:

Code: Select all

convert The_Tao_of_Abundance.pdf The_Tao_of_Abundance.tiff
And I got the following:

Code: Select all

convert: unable to open image `The_Tao_of_Abundance.pdf':  @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
convert: missing an image filename `The_Tao_of_Abundance.tiff' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand

Does your configuration include libtiff and ghostscript?

type

convert -list configure

what does the line starting with DELEGATES say -- does it include gs and tiff?

That error indicates that the file was not found!

Is the filename correct? Are you in the right directory? Check thoroughly!
