Command failed: gm convert: No decode delegate for this image format

[Suyash-Purwar]

I am getting this error when I use the exact code written in the npm documentation's first example.

Error: Command failed: gm convert: No decode delegate for this image format (C:\Users\acer\AppData\Local\Temp\gmnP1bMn).

I am using windows 10 64-bit architecture and have installed the following and added them in window's path:

• GraphicsMagick-1.3.36-Q8-win64-dll
• gs952w64

What am I doing wrong? @yakovmeister

Hi @Suyash-Purwar , will you be able to provide a snippet of your code?

[Suyash-Purwar]

Thanks for responding! Here's the snippet

const { fromPath } = require('pdf2pic');

const options = {
  density: 100,
  saveFilename: "untitled",
  savePath: "./images",
  format: "png",
  width: 600,
  height: 600
};

// Path to pdf is different in my case but  it's of this exact format
const storeAsImage = fromPath("/path/to/pdf/sample.pdf", options);
const pageToConvertAsImage = 1;

storeAsImage(pageToConvertAsImage).then((resolve) => {
  console.log("Page 1 is now converted as image");

  return resolve;
});

@Suyash-Purwar , have you tried the solution mentioned in this page? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66732199/how-to-fix-the-graphicsmagik-error-gm-convert-no-decode-delegate-for-this-imag

Hey @yakovmeister

I am having a problem installing the fonts. Below is the image of the prompt.

[yakovmeister]

@Suyash-Purwar Hmmm.. I'm not sure why it's not installing. Can you try converting those fonts to .ttf format and install the .ttf font format?

[Suyash-Purwar]

I'll try and will get back to you asap. Thanks a lot!

@yakovmeister Converted the .pfb files to .tff format and installed them successfully. Error is still there. This is the pdf I'm trying to convert. input-pdf.pdf

I'm getting the same issue with a specific pdf. Did you find any solution for this? @Suyash-Purwar. @yakovmeister I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and GraphicsMagick 1.3.35 2020-02-23

I've got the same issue. Using this GraphicsMagick version fix the problem: GraphicsMagick-1.3.31-Q8-win64-dll Maybe the newer version isn't compatible with gs952w64.
