Convert single page from Postscript

Hy !


Perhaps a simple thing ...

When I try to convert a single page from a postscriptfile, I always get only the first page. (No matter which pagenumber I ommit.)

Code: Select all

Example:

convert test.ps[3] test.tif
In this example I try to convert/extract page 3 (which is 4) from the postscript file "test.ps" to "test.tif".

What am I doing wrong? Or is it possible anyhow? Or is there a other way to convert single pages instead of [x] after the filename?


PS.: Converting the whole postscript file is no problem.


Thanks in advance.

Alex

QUOTE the page number and square brackets. They are shell meta characters and the shell is removing them!
