Are you sure the output file is actually black?  The background may be transparent instead of white.

In the past, I have not found Image Magick's direct convertion to or from PS or PDF to be satisfactory.

I recommend using gs to convert to one of the simple image formats, and then using Image Magick to convert that image into GIF.

  gs -r100x100 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png48 -sOutputFile=ccc.png ccc.pdf
  convert ccc.png ccc.gif
