convert E/paginas/pdf/E2.pdf E/paginas/pdf/E2.png
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/magick-qX48YuZM-00000001' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.

ImageMagick 6.6.0-4 just successfully converted a PDF-1.4 file to .png format. What version are the PDFs you're using, and what version of convert?

You determine the PDF version with: head -c 8 myfile.pdf

The ImageMagick version: convert --version

What you can do to diagnose the problem is to apt-get source imagemagick, and use the source line numbers in the error messages to locate the problem, and possibly fix the program to recognize the PDF, even if you have to tell the program to ignore certain sections.
