Got these errors. Corresponding PDF files created in \txt and \out, but only the one outputted as B/W by ScanTailor works, the rest are 0 byte size. No single complete PDF.

All done! Finished processing files.

BTW, it doesn't work at all if I use ".\whatever" as the directory name, but instead have to give it the full path.

Any idea...?

Cheers.

P.S. And if it's possible to put the relevant ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick files in the PDFMaker directory to make it a portable solution...? Thx!

PDFMaker is not really supported anymore - I'll update the original post to reflect that.

It doesn't really have very good error handling, but what that suggests to me is that either you don't have GraphicsMagick installed, or you don't have it in the path. The "path" is the set of directories that Windows will search for programs in. If you're not installing GraphicsMagick, but just extracted it from a directory, then you need to extract it to the same directory where PDFMaker is.
