Converting PDF Created in Acrobat: "/syntaxerror in pdfopen"

[kubilayrd]

Hi,

I'm using this bundle of ImageMagick:

Code: Select all

Version: ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 2012-05-09 Q16 OpenMP

I have a PDF file that I'm trying to convert to JPEG like this:

Code: Select all

# convert ss.pdf ss.jpg

However, every time I try, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Error: /syntaxerror in pdfopen

GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
convert: Postscript delegate failed `ss.pdf': There is no such file or path @ pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/611.
convert: missing an image filename `ss.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2800.

When I inspect the properties of file, the creator and encoding software infos are like this:

Code: Select all

Content Creator: Acrobat 11.0.4
Encoding software: Acrobat Distiller 8.0.0 (Macintosh)
Size: 11,5 MB
Resolution: 467 × 680

I have the same PDF with different properties, they're like:

Code: Select all

Content Creator: Adobe InDesign CS6 (Macintosh)
Encoding software: Adobe PDF Library 10.0.1
Size: 93,9 MB
Resolution: 467 × 680 (Same)

This second file is being converted without any problem. I had the same error in different files that were created by Acrobad and encoded by Distiller, too.

Is this exactly about these properties? How can I work it out?

GPL Ghostscript 8.70

This is old. Upgrading to a more recent GS might solve the problem. If you put your PDF somewhere like dropbox.com and paste the URL here, someone can check.

ImageMagick 6.5.4-7

This is also old. Very very old. It probably makes no difference in this case (because GS is reporting the error), but I suggest you upgrade.
