gs has a weird bug for which it don't work for particular numbers starting with leading zeroes. strip them for it.
m0ji, i think this is due to Imagemagick not being "authorized" to convert pdf to images, see:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60580
a possible fix is explained here:

...or just wait for your distro to somehow "fix" the imagemagick package.
Anyway, you can start from the console and check the output that way:
> pdf-afterscan.gui.sh /path/to/my/document.pdf

No output!
Check your /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml and see if changing: To: ...makes it work.
