pdf(number of pages)

[webmagick]

I have compiled IM6.4.0 with libtiff 3.82, ghostscript 8.62 gpl and libpng 1.2.25 on my Intel MacBook
Imagemagick runs some kind of infinite loop getting the number of pages in a pdf:
identify -format "%p" some.pdf
it also hangs if you try to extract all pages
Converting page 0 works though

[magick]

Does this work on all PDF's? If its just some, post a URL to your PDF so we can download and reproduce the problem. We're using ImageMagick 6.4.0-4 and your identify command properly reports the number of pages without complaint for all the PDF's we tested.

It seems to be only one PDF (coincidentally the one I used for testing) failing completely to end (it has 411 pages).
--EDIT: it took 5 minutes to count the pages - so it seems I am just too impatient.--
It tried another one(http://server.imento.dk/Imento%20samlet.pdf) and got an error:

Code: Select all

identify -format "%p" Imento\ samlet.pdf

And another one

How do I get the actual number of pages instead of all page numbers listed with no separation?

[magick]

If all you want is the number of pages in a PDF use another tool. ImageMagick must rasterize the PDF before it counts the number of pages. However, you can speed up the process with ImageMagick with this command:

• identify -density 12 -format "%p" image.pdf

The exception you received are from the Ghostscript delegate library. Either your PDF images are corrupt or its a bug in Ghostscript and you will want to post a bug report to them.
