ImageMagick "not authorized" PDF errors

Hi there

I was trying to convert some images into PDFs using ImageMagick's
"convert" tool and encountered a "not authorized" error, something
similar to the following:
  convert-im6.q16: not authorized `scan.pdf' @
error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.

Took me a while figuring that one out. As it turns out, this is due to
ImageMagick's security policy being tightened up (no default rights
for PDF/PS):
  /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

You can, of course, re-enable support for PDF/PS. See the following post:
