> Perhaps it is a bug in GS 9.10 or an error installing it? This cannot be because I did not touch GS after its installation. When I now uninstall IM 6.8.8-9 and install IM 6.8.0-4 everything works fine. When I then uninstall IM 6.8.0-4 and install IM 6.8.8-9 I can no longer convert my PDF. > What d...

- take e.g. this PDF: http://uwe-sthr.weebly.com/files/theme/Tachyonen.pdf - use IM 6.8.8 and run the command convert -define pdf:use-cropbox=true Tachyonen.pdf Tachyonen.png Result: convert.exe: `%s' (%d) "C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.10/bin/gswin32c.exe" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -...

1) same directory or specific subdirectory of convert.exe/magick.exe
2) environmental variable (e.g. MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH)

4) HKLM

I fully agree. This would solve the problems I mentioned and I think this easy to achieve.

IM currently requires a registry entry either in HKLM or HKCU where the locations of the delegates are stored. This requirement makes it impossible to install several programs that use IM: Assume program A as well as Program B use IM to convert images. So what happens is that the user installs - fir...

@donovaly: Your issue seem to be different. IM cannot find GS in your case. So with your install convert should fail for all pdfs (this requires GS) - and not only for some pdfs, as reported above. Yes, this was my fault. I had a broken installation. That a part of my PDFs worked had other reasons....

Dear developers, I use IM for an open source programs on Windows (namely for LyX). I have an installer that installs the whole bundle of LyX, Ghostscript and IM. It works fine so war, but only if the installation is done with admin permissions. But for none of the programs admin permissions are real...

The bug is that the -define pdf:use-cropbox=true switch does not work anymore. Using convert -define pdf:use-cropbox=true -depth 8 -flatten "pdf:testgraph.pdf" "png:testgraph.png" fails but convert -depth 8 -flatten "pdf:testgraph.pdf" "png:testgraph.png" work...

I can confirm the bug. (This is independent of 32bit or 64bit Windows.) With IM 6.7.3-8 and 6.7.4-0 I get >convert testgraph.pdf test.png convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `testgraph.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532. convert.exe: missing an image filename `test.png' @ erro...

Thanks Magick, it is indeed a regression bug in GS 8.70, in GS 8.65, it works:

When I convert this PDF image http://fkurth.de/uwest/bugreports/Resistance-Network.pdf to another format like a PNG using ImageMagick 6.5.7-3 on Windows XP: convert -define pdf:use-cropbox=true pdf:Resistance-Network.pdf png:testa.png I get these errors: **** Page has no /MediaBox attribute. Using t...

Many thanks for the prompt reply. This was indeed my problem.

I'm using Ghostscript 8.62 and ImageMagick 4.6.1-1. When I convert this file: http://fkurth.de/uwest/bugreports/test2.eps with the command convert test2.eps test2.jpg I get this result: http://fkurth.de/uwest/bugreports/test2.jpg You can see that the image gets aliased. But when I convert it to PNG ...

We grab the bounding box properly but unlike Postscript we cannot yet determine how to translate the PDF as required by the bounding box (for your image about -50,-50). For Ghostscript we inject the Postscript statement "-50, -50 translate". It may take awhile before we properly fix this ...
