Hi,
again, I've been through this a couple of days ago so I'm happy to
share my experience with you ;-)
For me the problem was not having installed ImageMagick in the first
place. But judging from your log this doesn't seem to be the problem.
Let me think ... perhaps your glitch might be related to a funny
thing I stumbled upon: including a PDF figure with \externalfigure
resulted in a crazy distortion of the image although I didn't specify
any height or width arguments (i.e. I didn't override its natural
dimensions)... Hans, Mojca, do you have any ideas? I'm going to send
a test file tomorrow ...
Best,
Oliver

I do not run XeTeX, but guessing from the error message, is write18
enabled on your system?

Hello,
Just to let you all know: ConTeXt with pdfTeX creates PDF version 1.5
by default, and xdvipdfmx driver of XeTeX (which became the default
one) isn't capable to handle those files. It handles PDF 1.4 OK, so if
you have some PDFs with a too recent version, you should convert them
to a lower version first. (I suppose that it's possible to use a lower
version as a setting in pdfTeX, and probably you can use gs to convert
an existing PDF.)
xdv2pdf handles recent PDFs OK.
So, in case that you have problems with image inclusion, you know what
the problem might be, and it's not sure when it will be solved. (The
problem described below has different kind of problems though.)

In spec-tpd.tex:
\pdfminorversion=5
(ie. PDF version 1.5)
So one can say
\pdfminorversion=4
and cross the fingers....
