xx.pdf 0x0x0 : not a picture

[David999]

Hi,

First time using this and ran into a problem right away. Here's what I did:

I'm on a Mac, scanned some student tests at 300dpi, using a Fuji Xerox scanner to a pdf file. Followed these instructions:

and got the "xx.pdf 0x0x0 : not a picture" result.

What went wrong? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

• XnView Forum
  • FAQ: How to display vector formats like PDF, AI,...? GhostScript!
  • EPS to JPG - Poor Image Quality
  • Thumbnail Preview for Vector and PDF-Format?
• Richard Koch
  • Ghostscript install package for macOS
• Linux Foundation Wiki
  • GPL Ghostscript for Mac OS X

No. Do I need it?

Hello forum!

I've run into the same issue!

I'm using Sierra 10.2, have XNConvert (64 bit) installed, and Ghostscript 9.21 installed. I've clicked to "ignore read errors". I still get the "not a picture" error when trying to convert PDFs.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Merci Pierre! Aside from using the Ghostscript install package (which I found here http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/), how would I ensure it is written in my PATH? Thanks!
