I recommend to always keep GhostScript and ImageMagick always up to date and fix your code accordingly. You need to open the policy.xml file which is located at /etc/ImageMagick-6 depending on version installed, and comment the following statements: īut be aware, this is a very important note, if you have an older version of GhostScript installed this is not recommended since there's a serious security hole for older versions. If you get an error like the following: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `PDF' error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/408 Now also be aware, that new installations of ImageMagick prohibit the process of PostScript files.

The command is specifying that the first page would be rendered as an image then converted into a JPEG file. As in many tutorials throughout the web, you have to do something like this: convert "multipage.pdf" multipage.jpg Note: It is advisable to use density, antialias and quality. You can convert an entire PDF document to a single image, or, if you like, there is an option to output pages as a series of enumerated image files. Command line tool ImageMagick does that (and a lot more). Neither is clear if the other PDF the command worked on were single page.īut based on assumptions only, just want to clarify, I'm guessing that the only issue with your command is not specifying what page of the PDF document you intend to convert into an image. There is a quick and convenient way to convert PDF to one or more images.


Suppose our output filename is image-d.jpg and our image list includes 3 images. Optionally, use an embedded formatting character to write a sequential image list. It seems like you are trying to work with a document that has more than one page. ImageMagick accepts format specifiers in its command line: convert -density 600 foo.pdf foo-02d.jpg Quote from the doc: Filename References. I'm not sure if you found a solution, and also aware this is a very old post and since there might be someone else needing an insight on this, I would like to share a possible solution.Īs an assumption.
