Trying to use convert and getting security policy problem:

convert -density 300 document.pdf -fuzz 10% -channel rgba -fill none -opaque "#d2d2d2" -opaque "#b8b8b8" daily_appointment.pdf

convert: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `PDF' @ error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/449.
convert: no images defined `daily_appointment.pdf' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3342


Which security policy is it? Output of: cat /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Configure ImageMagick policies.

Domains include system, delegate, coder, filter, path, or resource.

Rights include none, read, write, execute and all. Use | to combine them,
for example: "read | write" to permit read from, or write to, a path.

Use a glob expression as a pattern.

Suppose we do not want users to process MPEG video images:

<policy domain="delegate" rights="none" pattern="mpeg:decode" />

Here we do not want users reading images from HTTP:

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

The /repository file system is restricted to read only. We use a glob
expression to match all paths that start with /repository:

<policy domain="path" rights="read" pattern="/repository/*" />

Lets prevent users from executing any image filters:

<policy domain="filter" rights="none" pattern="*" />

Any large image is cached to disk rather than memory:

<policy domain="resource" name="area" value="1GP"/>

Use the default system font unless overridden by the application:

<policy domain="system" name="font" value="/usr/share/fonts/favorite.ttf"/>

Define arguments for the memory, map, area, width, height and disk resources
with SI prefixes (.e.g 100MB). In addition, resource policies are maximums
for each instance of ImageMagick (e.g. policy memory limit 1GB, -limit 2GB
exceeds policy maximum so memory limit is 1GB).

Rules are processed in order. Here we want to restrict ImageMagick to only
read or write a small subset of proven web-safe image types:

<policy domain="delegate" rights="none" pattern="*" />
<policy domain="filter" rights="none" pattern="*" />
<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="*" />
<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="{GIF,JPEG,PNG,WEBP}" />
