Hello

New user of Image Magick

I am running on a virtual server running w2003

As local admin all is well but as a domain user I can key in the commands (convert etc) but a complete command line fails

C:\pdf2\out>convert 1.ps 1.pdf
convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `1.ps' @ error/constitute.
c/ReadImage/532.
convert.exe: missing an image filename `1.pdf' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCom
mand/3016.

My delegates seem to be in place....

Thanks for any help. Apologise for any repetition in topic.

When converting PS and PDF files, IM relies on Ghostscript. I believe that the GS installation path is looked up in the registry at runtime, see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#IM_setup. It seems like you get the wrong path when working remotely. As a start, I would try to invoke GS alone in a CMD box and see it that functions. Check Delegates.xml if you don't know about the command line parameters to use. Please keep in mind that IM will generate a pure raster PDF via Convert.

Thanks for your reply and your web page on batch files

GS was unable to be invoked from the command line so I added the path to fix that.

I can run a GS convert on a file now but ImageMAgick still gives me issues.

BTW it doesnt matter which formats I use in the command line they all come back with the same problem.

no decode delegate and missing image file name
