You might get more information on the error using:

Code: Select all

try
{
$im = new imagick('doctest.pdf');
$im->setImageFormat("jpg");
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
echo $im;
}

catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}

Will imagick work on a file other than a pdf?

[anthony]

The read can use ANY image format, not just PDF's.

IM actually doesn't work on PDF's. At least not directly.

It gets the "ghostscript" delegate program/library to convert PDF to either PPM's (multiple images, no alpha) or PNG (single images with alpha), and then reads that.

hi anthony,
Thanks for reply...
i have installed ghost script,but how to work with it can u explain me or give a suitable link.
please asap

[Bonzo]

Have you tried your original code again since installing?

A computer restart would not do any harm either; Imagemagick and pressumably Imagick should automaticaly find GS.

[sahel]

yes ,
but the same problem arise including "'gs' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

[sahel]

finally i solve the problem but
i just able to use exec() function but not Imagick() class.
"the conetion was reset".
