When I do a "convert 00000B26,pdf 00000B26-IM.png" it truncates the image.

I did an export with gimp and it game me a correct image. Any suggestions?

I just installed the latest version of IM and GS.

With IM 7 you should use magick, not convert. Your command works fine for me on IM 7.0.7.10 Q16 Mac OSX with GS 9.21, but your image has an alpha channel. Using identify the alpha channel shows min (white) and max (black), which is backwards. Using magick identify, I get the proper values. What is happening is that your alpha channel is blanking out the rest of the image. So you need to turn it off or flatten it against white. Using a larger density will give a bigger image, but higher quality. You can also resize reading the PDF (by 25%) to get back to default size. (default density is 72. so 72*4=288 thus 25 % reduction).

But a better conversion could be had with

I am doing more things, but just pared down my command to show a simple example of it not working. I tried the magick command and am getting the same result as the convert. Just the header and nothing more. I added the -background white and -flatten and it gave me a full page, it still gave me the header, but the rest is still missing. Can you provide the code that you used that worked? I tried the command that you suggested: magick -density 288 00000B26.pdf -background white -flatten 00000B26.png and it did the same thing. I put the image created on the link and called it 00000B26x.png.

This works for me on IM 7.0.7.10 Q16 Mac OSX and GS 9.21

Do you think it could be just the 1 version difference in ghostscript?

I suppose it is possible. Also check your delegates.xml file.

Unix: /usr/local/etc/ImageMagick-6/delegates.xml

Does your line:

<delegate decode="ps:alpha" stealth="True" command="&quot;gs&quot; -sstdout=%%stderr -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 &quot;-sDEVICE=pngalpha&quot; -dTextAlphaBits=%u -dGraphicsAlphaBits=%u &quot;-r%s&quot; %s &quot;-sOutputFile=%s&quot; &quot;-f%s&quot; &quot;-f%s&quot;"/>


show sDEVICE=pngalpha or pnmraw?

If not pngalpha, then change it to pngalpha

I am on windows. Where would it be?

Also, I believe it worked for you, just trying to figure out why it is not working for me.

Sorry, I do not use Windows and don't know the file structure there. Perhaps one of the Windows users will see this shortly and can answer that better. Do you know whether ImageMagick can find Ghostscript? Probably not the issue since you did not get an error message about that.

But just to be sure, if you do
Does the line starting with DELEGATES show gs or gslib?

DELEGATES bzlib mpeg fftw fontconfig freetype gslib jbig jng jpeg lcms lqr lzma openexr openjp2 png ps rsvg tiff webp x xml zlib

Not sure if it shows on Windows systems or not.

Can you backdown your Ghostscript version and see if that works?

Or try converting your PDF using Ghostscript standalone?

Do you have OpenMP or OpenCL configured? You could try recompiling without them. Or set the threads to 1 to see if that helps. See viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20756&p=83407&hilit=thread#p83407

On Windows, delegates.xml is usually in the same directory as convert.exe.

When I try to open the PDF with Adobe Reader, I get a message: "A font package is required to correctly display this page." If I don't download these fonts, Adobe Reader shows only the header, and IM convert creates just the header. "Document properties" says the font is "MSung-Light".

Did you install all the Ghostscript fonts? See the links to them at http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/

Who, me? No, I haven't installed more fonts for Ghostscript than comes in the standard package. And this might be the OP's problem, that the PDF uses a non-standard font that isn't embedded in the PDF. Installing extra fonts may cure the problem.

In any case, if Adobe Reader can't rasterise a PDF, there is little chance of Ghostscript doing any better.

I meant this for the OP.

When reading a PDF makes "a low definition and low size" output, this is usually because the density setting is too low. Try "-density 300" or some other number before the pdf, eg:

I do not see and GS. How do I add that in windows?

Why do you want to? IM is successfully running GS.

I suspect the problem is a missing font. Can Adobe Reader read your PDF?
