convert: no images defined about paperless HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey Daniel, I think I've figured it out.

When using brew to install ImageMagick, it doesn't resolve the dependency ghostscript which provides the binary gs that is necessary for PDF conversion.

Here's the thread I found:

Can't Convert PDF Into Image - Super User

The issue is fixed by running:

brew install ghostscript in addition to brew install imagemagick

from paperless.

@blackwood Thank you! I had the same issue with MiniMagick

from paperless.

The consumption directory needs to be readable and writeable by the paperless user, and have the disk space to write the files (usually less than a few MB).

Since convert is only invoked in one place, I have to assume that there's something amiss with the arguments being passed to it. In this case, there's only two variables: doc (the path to the original PDF) and png the path to the target PNG. If convert is complaining that no images defined /path/to/image.png that makes me think that in your context, doc is in fact "" and convert is treating the png image as a first argument rather than a second one.

Except that the debug info you posted here sounds like there is in fact a value for doc in your case, so I'm at a loss. Maybe try editing the consumer and adding a print() just before the Popen() line to see just what's about to get executed?
