Hi:

We recently installed the latest version of ImageMagick onto our Linux server. I seem to be having issues performing the most basic of tasks.

I am running this command line:

/usr/bin/convert /location/to/source/design.ai /location/to/save/output.jpg

Unfortunatly is saves design.jpg as an illustrator file (if I rename the file to output.ai it opens). Even if I do this:

/usr/bin/convert /location/to/source/design.ai -rotate 90 /location/to/save/design.jpg

It rotates the file and saves again as an illustrator document. This happens with all filetypes (e.g. png, bmp, etc...)

It appears ImageMagick cannot figure out what I want it converted to and just saves as the same file type.

Any ideas on fixing this?

Regards:

John
