Mystery solved. The convert command is not available on my system. Two things occur to me.
First, the installation/use documentation should mention that convert is needed. The last time I tried to install it, I was unsuccessful. Second, the error recovery in the code "system 'convert', file.path, pdf.path" could at least display the error and stop.
