Converting to PDF fails

[MarHaj]

Doesn't convert at all to pdf from jpg and png images at the least.

Conversion status report:
Total: 1
Converted: 0
Error:0

Running Converseen 0.9.7 installed from repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps on Linux Mint 19.2.

Maybe some prerequisites/libraries missing?

Hello,

Please, try to install the ghostscript package. ImageMagick may require it in order to process PDF files.

I had ghostscript 9.26 installed (verified bin is in the path). And seems imagemagic too:

ii imagemagick 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.8 amd64 image manipulation programs -- binaries
ii imagemagick-6-common 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.8 all image manipulation programs -- infrastructure
ii imagemagick-6.q16 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.8 amd64 image manipulation programs -- quantum depth Q16

I've found the problem and the solution:

There is a ImageMagic policy file /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml. There I had a line disabling ghostscript from reading/writing pdf files: <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />. I changed it to <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" /> and the problem "converting to pdf fails" does not exit anymore.
