Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi, i installed imagick, imagemagick and php on my win 7 apache webserver and imagick works just fine with images, but when i try to work with PDF file it says: "Postscript delegate failed blah blah".
I googled something about ghostscript, does it mean i need to instal it too, or it does come with imagemagick installation automatically, only i just have config error somewhere?

thanx

IM uses Ghostscript to handle PDF files so you must have Ghostscript installed.

I just downloaded it from: http://www.ghostscript.com/
I am not sure if you need to install GS before IM or not.

GS should be installed and then re-install IM

And does it has to be ghostscript? Can't i make it work with adobe reader?

I very much doubt it would work with Adobe - why do you not want to install GS ?

Well its just, i have adobe installed for work with pdfs and i don't need to work with pdfs in imagick all that much, so its seems such a waste install second pdf reader Can imagick also convert images INTO pdf with ghostscript? That would be sweet.

From memory you can convert an image file e.g. jpg into a pdf image.
