Do you have Ghostscript installed, x32 or x64 according to the version of XnConvert you are using?

To obtain a good quality image, you may need to increase the DPI value used when PDF files are opened from the default value of 72 to a higher value:

If GhostScript isn't the problem, could you please try these setting:

XnView software is for some reason less tolerant of slight malformed PDF files which often open normally in other PDF software.

Hello,
If you have GhostScript, maybe first, you can try/test into a terminal this: (r 72 dpi by default)

Code: Select all

gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg -r72 -sOutputFile=p%03d.jpg yourfile.pdf

Yes, it is the ghostscript install issue. I thought I have it installed, but not true. After I did that, it is working.
Thanks everyone.
