Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I’m sure some of you guys have been through similar situations.
I use Imagemagick (6.7.6-0) to convert manipulate images on my Terascript Server (Mac OSX 10.7.5, Terascript 6.2.1). Works well and resizing, blurring and combining images. My latest task is to create a jpeg thumbnail from a PDF. convert -thumbnail x300 /path/to/file/sample.pdf -flatten /path/to/image/sample.jpg If I enter the above in the terminal it works fine. The small jpeg is created in the images folder. However, if I use an External action in Terascript to call a shell script and pass the arguments through (which is how I do resizes) it fails. The errors in Console are: 29/06/15 10:39:38.114 PM terascript: convert: `%s' (%d) "/opt/local/bin/gsx" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pngalpha" -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 "-r72x72" "-sOutputFile=/var/folders/vj/scmvh99n6sl0h152_6mrsjw80000gn/T/magick-wYNS9NxZ--0000001" "-f/var/folders/vj/scmvh99n6sl0h152_6mrsjw80000gn/T/magick-q1vOyVrY" "-f/var/folders/vj/scmvh99n6sl0h152_6mrsjw80000gn/T/magick-VFa6s5rk" @ error/utility.c/SystemCommand/1896. 29/06/15 10:39:38.114 PM terascript: convert: Postscript delegate failed `/path/to/file/sample.pdf': No such file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/668. 29/06/15 10:39:38.114 PM terascript: convert: missing an image filename /path/to/image/sample.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3017. I believe the first line is Imagemagick (convert) calling Ghostscript (gsx). The second is 'Postscript delegate failed' but then erroneously says 'No such file or directory’ The third says the target file is missing which is correct. I also tested the TAF using a jpeg as the input file and it creates the thumbnail correctly. So what we know is: Terminal/Imagemagick/Ghostscript set up works Terascript/Imagemagick/Ghostscript doesn’t work Terascript/Imagemagick works >From this I conclude that it is a permissions or path issue between Terascript >and Ghostscript. Terascript is running under my local user account which is a member of the group ‘admin'. gsx has the following permissions -rwxr-xr-x. That is as far as I have got up to now. Any helps in next steps would be appreciated.
