Changing density causes an exeution comand error

Hey,
On certain PDF files, when I run this command with -density 200 like this:
Code: Select all
convert -density 200 "/mnt/git/tmp/E33.pdf" -quality 100 /tmp/aaaa.png
I get this error:
Code: Select all
convert: FailedToExecuteCommand `"gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r200x200" "-sOutputFile=/tmp/magick-2957kte8nXSWCLOh%d" "-f/tmp/magick-2957ERH_nxorvD7R" "-f/tmp/magick-2957J7WL_niXZyqs"' (-1) @ error/delegate.c/ExternalDelegateCommand/461.
convert: no images defined `/tmp/aaaa.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3210.
However,
1. it works fine with -density 100, eg:
Code: Select all
convert -density 100 "/mnt/git/tmp/E33.pdf" -quality 100 /tmp/aaaa.png
Moreover this command works fine on Imagemagick 6.6.9-7 Ubuntu 12.04, but fails on Imagemagick 6.7.7-10 Ubuntu 14.10 and later versions.
Is there a way to debug what gs command is being ran? Is there a way to figure out what is breaking?
Thanks!

IM was undergoing some major changes during the 6.7.7.x versions. Both are very old. Can you upgrade to a more current version. IM is now at 6.9.2.4.
Also -quality 100 does not mean the same thing for PNG as it does for JPG. See

This also happens on later versions, I gave a version where this did not happen, this was to show this is a regression, and not a problem in the pdf (which unfortunately does not belong to me and I can't share).
Just to be safe, I have checked out the git repo and built from the ImageMagick-6 branch. commit e69bdbeba63b2fb25d485383da9d17d4ed78cc0f.
That means I am on the going-to-be 6.9.2-5, the commit is from yesterday.
The error I get now is:
Code: Select all
guy@golem4:~/tmp/ImageMagick$ /opt/imagemagick/bin/convert -density 200 "/mnt/git/tmp/E33.pdf" -quality 100 /tmp/aaaa.png
convert: FailedToExecuteCommand `"gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r200x200" "-sOutputFile=/tmp/magick-13863--A45JDwYfAj%d" "-f/tmp/magick-138634G1-M1Y0j17F" "-f/tmp/magick-13863cFTsyeXL2RF2"' (-1) @ error/delegate.c/ExternalDelegateCommand/483.
convert: no images defined `/tmp/aaaa.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3230.
So now we have the exact source:
http://git.imagemagick.org/repos/ImageM ... d4ed78cc0f
And the line is:
http://git.imagemagick.org/repos/ImageM ... ate.c#L483
This execution is printing something relevant, it looks like the gs command is failing, but I am not sure why from the actual error, is there a way to compare the executed command parameters?

convert: FailedToExecuteCommand `"gs"
Do you have Ghostscript installed (in the right locations for IM to find it) and what version of GS?

Code: Select all

Just making sure you didnt mess- the command *works* with -quality 100.
How could a parameter effect finding the binary?

It was just a comment that you might want to review your quality setting as 100 may not be optimal.

This works just fine for me on IM 6.9.2.5 beta Q16 Mac OSX with GS 9.10 and libpng 1.6.12_0
Code: Select all
convert logo: logo.pdf
im6925beta convert logo.pdf -quality 100 logo.png
Perhaps the newer GS you are using is buggy?
Check you delegates.xml file for ps
<delegate decode="ps:alpha" stealth="True" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=%u -dGraphicsAlphaBits=%u "-r%s" %s "-sOutputFile=%s" "-f%s" "-f%s""/>
<delegate decode="ps:cmyk" stealth="True" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pamcmyk32" -dTextAlphaBits=%u -dGraphicsAlphaBits=%u "-r%s" %s "-sOutputFile=%s" "-f%s" "-f%s""/>
<delegate decode="ps:color" stealth="True" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pnmraw" -dTextAlphaBits=%u -dGraphicsAlphaBits=%u "-r%s" %s "-sOutputFile=%s" "-f%s" "-f%s""/>
Do you have the same -sDEVICEs?

The problem is not quality, its
density
Try:
Code: Select all
convert -density 200 "logo.pdf" -quality 100 /tmp/aaaa.png
Note, Had to change from -sDEVICE=pam" to -sDEVICE=pamcmyk32" and it did not help

SOVLED IT!
Checked out ghostscript from the git repo, built that and did a symbolic link, GPL Ghostscript GIT PRERELEASE 9.19 (2015-09-23) fixes it.
There is likely a bug in Ghostscript 9.15
