Hi Rainer,

Thanks for your quick reply!

The SET commmand gives me the following information on the PATH variable:

Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\PROGRA~1\CA\SHARED~1\SCANEN~1;C:\PROGRA~1\CA\ETRUST~1;C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft SQL 
Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\WINDOWS\system32\nls;C:\WINDOWS\system32\nls\ENGLISH;C:\TIBCO\TIBRV\BIN;D:\TIBCO\TIBRV\BIN

No DELEGATE_PATH there. Hm?

But ImageMagick works fine. Everything works despite PDF/AI read.

That's how it looks like in my ImageMagick's delegates.mgk file:

pdf<=>ps
	gs -dMaxBitmap=300000000 -sDEVICE=pswrite -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER \
	  -sOutputFile="%o" -- "%i" -c quit

How is this done under Windows?

I've set GS to C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.53\bin\gswin32.exe, but this 
doesn't work. (done via Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment 
Varibles)

Even after restarting Apache.



If I enter

c:\ImageMagick/identify.exe 
C:/xampp/htdocs/intranet/typo3/sysext/install/imgs/pdf_from_imagemagick.pdf[0]

in a DOS shell, I get this:

identify: no delegates configuration file found (delegates.mgk)
identify: Missing an image file name.


If I copy the delegates.mgk file directly to the ImageMagick folder 
(currently it is in a subfolder), I get this here:

identify: Portable Document delegation failed 
(C:\DOCUME~1\E_OPEN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\mag9BC).
identify: Missing an image file name.


Any other suggestions would be very welcome :-)
