ghostscript hangs during convertion of a pdf to a png

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Running "convert test.pfg output.png" hangs
  • Ghostscript takes a very long time to process certain PDF files. We have an hunch that PDF files with big images in them are cause for the slowness.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.2
  • ImageMagick-6.7.8.9-10.el7
