Bug Description
This program looks good, but I have been unable to use it because it is unable to find Ghostscript. I installed GS 9.01 and IM 6.6.7.7 Q16 on this Win XP Home SP3 laptop and after adding C:\Program Files\Ghostscri
convert logo: logo.pdf
on the command line and open the pdf file. But when I attempt to open or import a PDF in Whyteboard it says
Failed to convert file. Ensure Ghostscript is installed.

What could the problem be? If you post the IM command that Whyteboard runs I could attempt to run it from a command line.
I am available at <email address hidden> and will submit this through the program's Send Feedback form so you get the laptop specs (Asus EeePC netbook, 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1 GB RAM).

Dear Steven,
Thank you for your response! Unfortunately the laptop I had installed
Whyteboard on crashed and I have not purchased a new laptop yet so I won't
be able to test this further. I probably won't be installing the program
on my new laptop since I was only using it for a one-time project, but if I
have this requirement again I will be sure to test the command you posted!
Sincerely,
Mark Fox

Hi,
This is the convert command used:
"[ImageMagick path to convert.exe]" -density 200 "[file to convert]"
-resample 88 -unsharp 0x.5 -trim +repage -bordercolor white -border 20
"[output path]"
there are quotes around filenames to deal with paths containing spaces.
Let me know how this goes; sorry for getting back to you quite late on
this.

I'm also encountering this problem; using GS 9.04 and ImageMagick-
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagi
and IM returned the following error:
convert.exe: `%s' (%d) "gswin32c.exe" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=
convert.exe: Postscript delegate failed `C:\Users\
convert.exe: missing an image filename `C:\Users\
I've ensured that the target PDF file exists in the specified directory, and that the Public Downloads folder is publicly-writable.
Thanks for your hard work, and hope this sheds some light on the issue!

This problem also affects me. I am using linux, running Pinguy 11.04 (i.e. a tweaked version of Ubuntu 11.04 that does not use Unity or Gnome 3, but Gnome 2, etc.). I get the same error message (i.e. Failed to convert file. Ensure Ghostscript is installed.

I should note: when I first installed Whyteboard, everything worked fine. Then, the broken just stopped allowing me to open up any .pdf files.
