pdf to image conversion

[anthony]

The best way is a PDF utility. The IM way is to read and create 'page images' then count the images. using identify -format %n not very nice.

I tried to find the page number of .pdf file using:

Code: Select all

identify -format %n text.pdf

I got correct page number of the .pdf file that contains images but the problem is with the .pdf files that contains text. I can see 6 pages in .pdf but IMagick returns only page 4 with lots of error messages..Error messages also can't be made quiet with -quiet option. I want to know, ImageMagick can't handle .pdf files that contains text?? Any help will be appreciated..

Actually it is probably more like you current ghostscript can't handle the PDF. IM calls ghostscript to do the convertsion of postscript, and PDf to a raster image.
