Does PDF to TIFF conversion require GS install?

Can someone please confirm if I need to have Ghostscript installed in order for ImageMagick to successfully convert PDF files to TIFF, or is the necessary Ghostscript functionality included in the ImageMagick install?

I believe you need GS.

I do not know about Windows, but for Unix you will need GS. You should post your version of IM and especially your platform in the future.

The same is true for IM 6.8.8-0 on Windows 8. On a machine without Ghostscript the command ...
... gave the message:
Code: Select all
convert.exe: Postscript delegate failed `tom.pdf': No such file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/682.
After installing GS from
http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html, the command succeeded.
