Hello,

I'm using Version: ImageMagick 7.0.8-16 Q16 x86_64 2018-12-10 of ImageMagick on Mac in the terminal app and am having trouble converting a pdf to tiff. I keep inputting this code:

Code: Select all

magick convert -density 300 cookies_recipes2.pdf -depth 8 -strip -background white -alpha off cookies.tiff

and I keep getting this message:

Code: Select all

convert: FailedToExecuteCommand `'gs' -sstdout=%stderr -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 '-sDEVICE=pngalpha' -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 '-r300x300'  '-sOutputFile=/var/folders/kk/bsm199sn5ts3_g71yrrsg4sh0000gn/T/magick-25732sR0jylOlAqYf%d' '-f/var/folders/kk/bsm199sn5ts3_g71yrrsg4sh0000gn/T/magick-25732Rs1mLSNeH3YC' '-f/var/folders/kk/bsm199sn5ts3_g71yrrsg4sh0000gn/T/magick-25732a2ot71X7vOq6'' (1) @ error/pdf.c/InvokePDFDelegate/290.
convert: no images defined `cookies.tiff' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3300.

I've also tried putting in the code without "magick" in front and I've also tried just:

Code: Select all

magick convert cookies_recipes2.pdf cookies.tiff

and still nothing happens.

I appreciate the help. Thank you.

Do you have Ghostscript installed? If not, then you need to install it. If so, then you likely need to edit your policy.xml file to enable the reading of PDF/EPS/etc. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/528 ... 3#52863413 and https://imagemagick.org/script/resources.php

Note on IM 7, use magick, not magick convert and not convert. Otherwise, you may get IM 6 behavior. Other tools, such as identify, mogrify, montage do need to be prefaced by magick, but not convert.

Thank you! Installing GhostScript worked
