Convert pdf to image

Hi.

We need to conver pdf files to images through imagick/ghostscript. In ubuntu works well.

But in our centos instance (Amazon Linux AMI release 2016.09) it fails.

[ec2-user@ip-10-0-3-130 ~]$ convert doc-535-09e226c35e50173ebc6918615d611edb-invoice.pdf doc1.png

This only ocurr with pdfcrowd files. For example if we run same command with another pdf file it works:

[ec2-user@ip-10-0-3-130 ~]$ wget www.ecocollect.bg/ecocollect_docs/ecocollect-doc-en-1.pdf
