otoh, ImageMagick seemed to be ok locally when I tried convert.

bawolff@Bawolff-L:~$ convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.6.0-4 2010-11-16 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

So possibly something that could be fixed on update.

I have submitted the bug to the Ghostscript bugzilla:
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694536

Thanks for trying!

Upstream ticket closed as INVALID: "Please try the current version of Ghostscript and, if the problem persists, reopen the bug report."

Cannot reproduce the problem with 9.07 on Fedora 19:

I apologize, I should have mentioned my version of ghostscript is insanely old. I imagine the version on production is fairly old to.

I guess this puts this ticket in ops territory - upgrade ghostscript and/or image magick

One more here. Could you please fix this bug? Thanks, Yann

See comment 6 and comment 7. Fixing the PDF file instead should be easier.

There is no problem displaying this file locally (AReader XI), so I don't understand your answer. Regards, Yann

Well, corrupt JPX streams might still be parseable by Adobe's decoder...

The file in the comment above was created by printing to PDF from Google chrome on Mac. It does not strike me as a fringe issue.

All of the linked files except for the last one thumbnail correctly for me. We're running Ghostscript 9.10 in production these days.

This looks like a different error message, and funnily only appears for the first page on the PDF. Filed as T110852.

I still see 10 files without thumbnail in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:PDF_files_affected_by_MediaWiki_restrictions .
Is this another bug?

Yes - see the error messages you get for those thumbnails.

FYI I have this error message on some PDF scans (on a private wiki). The issue is with Ghostscript 9.26, who writes the following error message at the beginning of the file (before the JPEG real content):

**** Error: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL.
            Output may be incorrect.

The user-displayed error is ImageMagick who does not understand the JPEG image (which is normal). Hence it is not a MediaWiki or an ImageMagick issue, but a Ghostscript’s one. If I find something useful to solve it, I will report it here if anyone else has this issue in the recent days.

imagemagick: Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64 2018-09-28
ghostscript: 9.26

i have the same issue. on a private wiki a client uploaded a pdf scanned with an HP laserjet. the error message i get is

no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501. convert: no images defined `/tmp/transform_82d28da241a8.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3210.

gs also outputs the same error as mentioned above by @Seb35; imagemagick does too during conversion.

i ran

convert pdffile.pdf test.jpg && identify test-0.jpg | grep "corrupt"

with no console output which shows that the image generated is valid jpg, right?

NB: locally i tested with gs 9.26 and ImageMagick 6.9.9-38 Q16 x86_64 and no error was printed; i did not test this setting on the wiki server

Did you attempt to view the file?

yes i did. i didn't recognize anything wrong with the image file. i used gnome's image viewer.

so here's a reproducable case.

• os: alpine 3.8
• mediawiki 1.32.1
• php 7.2.18 (fpm-fcgi)
• extension: pdf handler (img preview works with other files, e.g. the cox and box.pdf linked above)
• $wgMaxShellMemory = 0;
• $wgMaxShellTime = 0;
• gs 9.26
• imagemagick 7.0.8-38 Q16 x86_64 2019-04-15

after running (see SO)

pdftocairo -pdf corrupt.pdf repaired.pdf

gs parsed the pdf correctly and the pdf preview worked;

We are also having this issue on a private wiki.

Hi @PhotographerTom. The task summary says "(fixed in GS 9.07)". Which version of GhostScript are you using on your private wiki?
Did you apply the patch by Seb35 linked above?
