Error Code 7

On my Ubuntu PC, imagemagick is used by Simplescan to save multiple scans as multipage PDF files. This does not work - after processing a while, imagemagiuck returns Error Code 7. I suspect that lack of RAM or diskspace is the reason, but I don not know - can you help me with the interpretation of the error code?
Thanks, Johannes

I do not think the error code is from Imagemagick. It is probabaly from the Simplescan software.

Sorry, it explicitely says that the error code is returned by imagemagick command line tools. At that moment, simplescan has already send a command to imagemagick to convert the scan files (looks like tiff format) to the pdf file.
Thanks, Johan nes

I am not a unix expert, but I searched on google for unix error codes.

I suspect this is coming from unix and probably means a permissions error when reading or writing the file from IM or your argument list too long.
