I am using ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2017-07-31 Q16 on Ubuntu 14.04, through Wand 0.4.4, Python 3.4.3 and Django 1.11. I am trying to create a jpg thumbnail of a pdf file.
On the command line, I can do this with no errors:
convert -thumbnail x300 -background white -alpha remove Lucy.pdf[0] output_thumbnail.jpg
But when I try to use wand on the same image I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/mark/python-projects/memorabilia-project/memorabilia/models.py", line 24, in make_thumb

raise e
wand.exceptions.MissingDelegateError: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/blob.c/BlobToImage/367
I looked at the delegates.xml file for ImageMagic in /etc, and there are entries for pdf files.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to get this conversion to work through wand.

I hacked a simple Python script from my django code to test wand with pdfs, and it gives the same error. I also tested whether Ghostscript is in the path, and printed out the results of convert -list delegates.
from wand.image import Image
from os.path import splitext
import uuid
import os
import hashlib
newname = "sam.jpg"
oldnames = ["16u.jpg", "Lucy.pdf", "Jimbo.tiff", "john_edmonds.pdf", ]
size = "200"
RESOLUTION = 200
test = "4"
TEST_DATA = "test_data/"
def test_delegate():
print ("test_delegate")
print(os.system("convert -list delegate"))
def test_gs():
print ("test_gs")
retval = os.system("gs --version")
print (retval)
def read_image(file_name):
f = open(file_name, 'rb')
h = hashlib.sha256()
buff_size = 128*1024
for b in iter(lambda : f.read(buff_size), b""):
h.update(b)
computed_sha256 = h.hexdigest()
f.close()
print ("b="+str(len(b))+", computed_sha256="+computed_sha256)
return b
def create_thumb(names):
for img in names:
img = TEST_DATA + img
print(img)
thumb_name, thumb_extension = os.path.splitext(img)
thumb_extension = thumb_extension.lower()
bytes = read_image(img)
if thumb_extension in [".pdf",]:
print("found pdf")
#pages = Image(filename = img)
pages = Image(blob = bytes)
first_page = pages.sequence[0]
image = Image(first_page)
else:
print("found image")
#image = Image(filename=img)
image = Image(blob = bytes)
image.transform(resize="x"+size)
image.format = "jpg"
image.save(filename=thumb_name+"_thumb_"+test+".jpg")
print("finished successfully")
def main():
print("main")
test_delegate()
test_gs()
create_thumb(oldnames)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
The output from this program is as follows. It has the same missing delegates error. The same error also occurs with tiff files, but not with jpg files (the first test file is a jpg and the code processed the file and created the thumbnail image). The program also prints the version of GS, which is 9.10, so that is accessible from the program, and it prints out the delegates it found, which include pdfs.:

Maybe this simple python code will help someone give me a direction to go to solve this problem. However, I am beginning to suspect there is a bug in wand when one uses byte arrays instead of file names.
Thanks!
Mark
