Imagemagick/gswin32c and alfresco-pdf-renderer

dshookowsky

I'm using alfresco community edition 5.2.4 5.2.f (manually installed). When I upload a document and mouse over it, I can see in the logs "Failed to perform ImageMagick transformation" and "convert.exe FailedToExecuteCommand "gswin32c.exe"

I know that ImageMagick needs ghost script to convert a PDF to a PNG, but I'm confused why I need ImageMagick at all if I have alfresco-pdf-renderer configured.

in alfresco-global-properties, I have:

img.root: E:\\alfresco\\imagemagick

img.exe: ${img.root\\convert.exe

alfresco-pdf-renderer.root: e:\\alfresco\\bin

alfresco-pdf-renderer.exe: ${alfresco-pdf-renderer.root}\\alfresco-pdf-renderer

Why is alfresco still using imagemagick for PDF conversion and not using the alfresco-pdf-renderer?

I downloaded alfresco-platform-5.2.g.war and that resolved the issue. It appears that the alfresco-platform-5.2.f.war is unaware of the alfresco-pdf-renderer.

Note: If I explicitly installed ghostscript in windows, the transform worked fine. It was only when attempting to use imagemagick with ghostscript files copied locally that the transform would fail.

I think I may have stumbled onto the issue. I actually have 5.2.0. I don't think it knows about the PDF renderer.

You specified in your original question that you were using Alfresco Community 5.2.4 - such a version does not exist. Community never uses a version with three numeric elements. Any Community 5.2 version will display 5.2.0 because the single letter is only a "label" and not reflected in the version number. Only the schema version may be different (but isn't guaranteed to be).

Glad you figured out this is a limitation of the 5.2.f version, which did not yet contain the functionality to call the pdfrenderer utility.
