Correct. That is exactly what OP said.  But I thought he did not mean it
literally.  My interpretation is because OP attempted an IM conversion
and gave failure information.   I thought OP was saying:  'Look, I've
already tried IM, please don't suggest that.'


At any rate I thought that there were two things important.  (1) That
gscan2pdf does work, even though it uses IM.  And (2) that there is a 
workaround, even if not preferred.
