Convert JPEG to PDF never finishes.

Hi, I'm using ImageMagick 6.2.8 03/31/08 on a RHEL 5, Kernel 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 #1 SMP.

I'm used to convert JPEGs to PDFs using a very simple command like.

Code: Select all

convert Image.jpg File.pdf
When trying to use the same commands on this new environment (detailed above), It seems that the 'convert' commands never finishes.

I proceeded with the test below:

Code: Select all

convert -size 210x297 xc:green ./green.jpg
It produced a correct jpg file. Then...

Code: Select all

convert -verbose ./green.jpg ./green.pdf
The output was:

Code: Select all

./green.jpg JPEG 210x297 210x297+0+0 DirectClass 6.9e+02
I waited more than 10 minutes, nothing happened.
I tried using the same commands but replacing the JPEG by TIFF files, all worked OK.
What can be done to solve the problem of JPEG -> PDF conversion?
Thank you very much. Help is much appreciated.

We're sure what you say is happening but it defies all logic. We have never seen this issue before. Add -debug all,trace to your command line to see where the process is hanging.

Can you upgrade? The current release of ImageMagick is 6.5.0.

Hi, Thank you for your reply.

I used that option that you told me. Here's the output.

Code: Select all

Does this output indicate something wrong?

Thank you.

The only way I could solve this problem was to disregard the version that came with RHEL and compile the last stable version (6.5.0 as today).

As I don't need any PERL related function, I used the --without-perl flag.

After installing the compile version. Everything worked fine.

The above procedure solved my problem, but I still would like to use the RedHat packaged version.

Thanks.
