Hello. I just recently moved to using ImageMagick to automate pdf conversions. I am running into trouble with convert missing some graphics from the original. The first page (and continuing pages) of the pdf at
http://www.muni.org/Departments/finance ... ection.pdf
is selective about what it chooses to include in the converted output when I use: convert file.pdf[1] newfile.png . Or any other extension including pdf. These files I'm interested in are primarily just scanned copies too.
The file I end up with looks like:
http://s21.postimage.org/j0c4sz2s7/newfile.png
I'm running windows 7 32-bit
ImageMagick-6.8.3-9-Q16-x86
Ghostscript 9.05
Thanks for any help.

Re: Pdf conversion is losing graphics and text
It converts fine for me, IM 6.8.3-0 in Windows 7.
The newfile.png you posted is the second page of the report. According to Adobe Reader, it has no graphics. The first page does, and they are shown on the first PNG output.
(But it looks to me that the PDF contains exactly one graphic per page, being a scan of the entire page.)

Re: Pdf conversion is losing graphics and text
Thanks. I was using file.pdf[1] (which I edited to show in my first post to avoid further confusion) when I should have used file.pdf[0].
