Regression: cannot convert a PDF to an image in 3.1.3 - spjonez - 02-15-2017
This changed somewhere between 3.1.1 and 3.1.3: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/blob/develop/system/libraries/Image_lib.php#L1652
The added condition prevents converting a PDF to an image. getimagesize will always return false in this case. I'm using Imagemagik as the library. If I comment the new block out it will correctly create an image as it did in past versions.

PDF is not an image format; you've been relying on a bug.

Hah I figured you'd say that
I extended the library and removed the check. Cheers,

So instead of correcting the problem you extend the library and undo the check so that you can still use the bug.
Glad your not writing software for me.

The alternative being, do not use CI's Image Library at all and write my own wrapper for IM. Not worth the effort IMO as this is only used to generate thumbnails.
