You need to install ghostscript as well.

Hello,

I'm attempting to use IM with Windows as well, I need the ability to work with pdf files. I understand I need to install a ghostscript before Imagemagick but I lost the url with the instructions on doing so.

I'm pretty green using this so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rose

See the link below, especially http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#IM_setup. The order in which you install ImageMagick and Ghostscript does not matter; the path to the Ghostscript executable is read from the Registry at runtime.
