I tried executing this command from within my site:

Code: Select all

identify -format %n "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/pdf1_4.pdf"
but i am recieving this error:

Code: Select all

Error: /rangecheck in --.image3x-- Operand stack: --dict:10/10(L)-- --nostringval-- --dict:5/5(L)-- Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- 2 1 1 --nostringval-- %for_pos_int_continue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 1 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %array_continue --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push --nostringval-- %loop_continue --nostringval-- 1292 --nostringval-- 3 10 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1067/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:73/200(L)-- --dict:73/200(L)-- --dict:97/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:229/230(ro)(G)-- --dict:19/24(L)-- --dict:4/6(L)-- --dict:20/20(L)-- --dict:1/1(ro)(G)-- Current allocation mode is local

Looks like the ghostscript is missing soem required environment settings. Commandline has a full environment setip, but the web usally has a minimal (if any) environment.

Looks like your PDF is corrupted or Ghostscript cannot read it. Try using Ghostscript directly to view the file and see if it complains:
  • gs pdf1_4.pdf

I dont know if the file is corrupted because i can open the pdf file without any problem and the pdf file was created using photoshop.
