Here's a weird thing. I have a new Redhat machine, with PHP 5.2.6 and IM 6.4.8. The following works beautifully on the command line:
convert original.pdf new.jpg
But from PHP, it only works beautifully if I specify complete pathnames for convert, the original file, and the new file (that's OK, no problem), but it only works converting JPG and GIF images. As soon as I try to convert a PDF image, it fails:
<?php
$command_line = "/usr/local/imagemagick/bin/convert /var/www/html/original.pdf /var/www/new.jpg";
system($command_line, $return_var);
?>
$return_var = 1. I don't have ghostscript, but I figured I don't need it since the PDF->JPG conversions works on the command line. Any suggestions?
