I have a vector image font file with the extension of hpp. I want to convert it to a .jpg. Any suggestions on how I would do this?

For some image formats, ImageMagick relies on external delegate libraries or programs. For PCL / HPP, ImageMagick requires the PCL program from GhostPCL.

I am using windows xp version 6.7.0.0 q16.

I have ghostscript 9.01 installed which I believe has ghostpcl.

I tried convert image.hpp image.jpg and got the following error:

Magick: no decode delegate for this image format 'image.hpp' @ error/constitute.
c/ReadImage/532.
Magick: missing an image filename 'tmp.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.

I assume it does not know what to do with an hpp file, is that correct?

Please advise on how to proceed.

Thanks

GhostPCL is not part of the Ghostscript distribution. Its a separate distribution. You can check from the Command Prompt (MS-DOS) window. Does the command

• pcl6

work? Or does it return an error?

Ok, I did not have ghostpcl installed. I am not sure how to install it, but I changed the exe in the distribution to be pcl6.exe. I copied all the files from the distribution into the folder that I am trying to do the convert in. I also installed the urwfonts. I did pcl6 tiger.px3 and it popped up the tiger image with the distribution. I tried convert tiger.px3 tiger.jpg and it gave me the same error as before. I tried pcl6 image.hpp and it just comes back to the prompt and does not render. Please advise.

Any suggestions?

I did more searching and it appears an hpp is short for an hppcl extension. Any suggestions on how to convert these to a jpg?
