Hello Maxim,
thank you for the link. Not sure i can use it as this, but it will help for sure. I haven't find any issue with my crude little hack so far but as it is done in a bash script, i can add more checks at will. For exemple, use Graphicsmagick only for pdf files. Beware, the "+" before a parameter is specific to Graphicsmagick i think ...

I have a freshly cloud installation of OM5 on ubuntu 18.04 LTS following a tutorial by Alvaro, many thanks to him for this great work. Still little struggle with automatic starting of daemons, the scripts in /etc/init.d only works manually. I began to write some systemd unit, but it's another story. One of my beta-testers ;-) runs across a problem with a pdf of his creation. This pdf was small (640 Ko) and opens like a charm with everything i try to open it. I even open it in LibreOffice, re-save in pdf, same result. Digging in OM logs, I found convert from Imagemagick is used to save each page in png. In command line, i was able to reproduce the failure of convert. With the error message from convert, i tried many of the switches proposed over Internet to circumvent the problem but with no luck. Finally i tried Graphicsmagick and it works. I just write a little bash script named convert to intercept OM command and insert the parameter "+adjoin" maybe it can help somebody.
