Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Major kudos to the IM developers. It's amazing the number of options and formats being addressed by this application. Very, very impressive.

* I get error '415: Postscript delegate failed' when converting a multi-page PDF to TIFF or JPG.
- The source file was produced by activePDF and file loads successfully in Acrobat.
* I saved the actviePDF PDF using Acrobat and tried converting the resulting PDF to TIFF with IM.
- It converted without error but the resulting PDF had a blank second page.
* I created a multi-page PDF with Acrobat and converted the resulting PDF to TIFF with IM.
- That worked great (took 45 seconds, but that's faster than I can do it).
* Single-page PDFs created by activePDF convert without incident.

I presume it's a problem with Ghostscript reading actviePDF's multi-page PDF, which may need to direct me to Ghostscript's forum, but I often presume badly. I saw an identical issue being reported to IM back in 2004. I would be happy to provide an example source file if desired.

I'm using IM 6.3.4 Q16, Ghostscript 8.54, activePDF 4.0.5.8131, and Acrobat 6.0 Pro.

Thanks,

Post a URL to your Postscript here so we can download it and reproduce the problem.

Ghostscript cannot read your image. Xpdf can but ImageMagick relies on Ghostscript to render PS and PDF.

Thanks again for your quick response.
Hopefully I'll be able to check with the Ghostscript people.
Cheers,
Chris
