Post by dsingh »

Hello experts,

This command should give you insight into why your PDF image file is failing to convert. Type
  • convert -verbose 1.pdf 1.jpg
Post the output of that command here for inspection.

When i issue command from the console like 'convert x.pdf y.jpg', it is working. But through the application, it is not working.

Add -verbose to your application and see what it reports. Generally this is an environment problem-- that is there is something different about your application environment than the Command Prompt environment. Compare the results of -verbose in both environments may reveal that the problem is.

thanks for your efforts. I have tested at the console prompt for the convertion of pdf to jpg after uninstall the ghostscript. i received the same error message. Now i can understand that it is because of unavailability of ghostscript. Now please let me know that what would be the format of command line in delegates.xml for pdf convertion.

my delegate file having the following lines. Should i do any changes on this in delegates.xml? or not

<delegate decode="pdf" encode="ps" mode="bi" command=""@PSDelegate@" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dEPSCrop -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 -sDEVICE=pswrite "-sOutputFile=%o" -- "%i""/>

<delegate decode="pdf" encode="jpg" mode="bi" command=""@PSDelegate@" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dEPSCrop -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=0 -sDEVICE=pswrite "-sOutputFile=%o" -- "%i""/>
