Wand Policy Error: error/constitute.c/ReadImage/412

Question

I am facing the issue while converting pdf to image using Wand:

E           wand.exceptions.PolicyError: not authorized `/opt/sample.pdf\' @ error/constitute.         


        

Answer 1

This is probably due to an security fix of the underlaying package (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/+bug/1796563)

I fixed it for me by editing the /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml and changed the rights for the pdf line to "read":

<policy domain="coder" rights="read" pattern="PDF" />

Answer 2

Editing the /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml and changed the rights for the pdf line to "read|write":

<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

and restarting the server in my case Jupiter Notebook runtime fixed my issue

Answer 3

Troubleshooting ImageMagick on Debian-based systems.

If encountered with a PolicyError, you may be able to fix it by changing the following line in /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml from this:

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />

to this:

<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

(More details about policy.xml available here.)
