Multiple errors occurring when I try to convert pdf in jpeg

Question

I need to convert .pdf file to .jpeg file to do OCR of the text. I found this code:

from pdf2image import convert_from_path
pages = convert_from_path('img732.pdf', 500)
for page in pages:
  page.save('out.jpg', 'JPEG')

And I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-package\pdf2image\pdf2image.py", line 441, in pdfinfo_from_path
proc = Popen(command, env=env, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Impossibile trovare il file specificato

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

pdf2image.exceptions.PDFInfoNotInstalledError: Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH?

I have the .pdf file in the same directory of .py file. Where's the problem?

Answer 1

I guess this problem is library specific. However you can use this solution for run successfully.

1. Download poppler tools for windows (I recommend latest version):
   http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/
2. After download extract to poppler folder any path
3. Add environment variables poppler's "bin" folder:
4. And restart your python workspace
