Hello all,

I'm experiencing a weird problem with some PDF.

I use Imagick thanks to : echo exec (“convert test.pdf test.jpg”).
That works very well, except with some pdf.

Some images created with pdf thanks to convert, seem being truncated (it generally misses the top of the document).

After some research, I noticed that the problems come from pdf “malformed”.
Indeed, when we look at the pdf (zoom 100%), this one is not visible completely (whereas it takes only one page) and this is what we get when I convert that PDF. (I hope to be clear in my explanations)
So, the result is a jpg which show 80% of the pdf document.

I used some resize tools with convert but that does not works :/

BTW thanks for your help

PS : I'm sorry for my English skill, I'm french :/

Perhaps you should post a link to one of your pdf files so that the IM developers can test it. But if you are getting "malformed" errors, then I suspect it is in the PDF or tool that created it and not in ImageMagick.

You're right, and I forgot to tell the release : ImageMagick-6.2.8

Here is a pdf "malformed" : http://pdfcast.org/pdf/test-137

Thanks!

It works perfectly fine for me under IM 6.6.9.7 Q16 Mac OSX Tiger and Ghostscript 9

I suspect your version of IM is too old and so many things have been improved. Your IM is over 400 versions old. It might also be your version of Ghostscript that needs upgrading. What version of Ghostscript are you using as IM uses gs to deal with pdf file, if I am not mistaken.

Unfortunately, it's the last release for CentOS 5.6 :/
(Ghostscript 8 - ImageMagick-6.2.8 ), so I can't fix that bug...

I had to search another solution, however, thank you very much for your answer, it helped a lot!
