I am running debian buster on the docker image. I have installed every poppler package to rule anything unusual out. I have explicitly added the paths to all of the poppler files, containing directories, etc.
I have followed the documentation available on the pdf2image website here: https://pdf2image.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#
And have confirmed that poppler is installed and on the path with the recommended method:
root@1018c6c180a9:/# pdftoppm -h
pdftoppm version 0.71.0
Copyright 2005-2018 The Poppler Developers - http://poppler.freedesktop.org

Usage: pdftoppm [options] [PDF-file [PPM-file-prefix]]
-f <int> : first page to print
-l <int> : last page to print
-o : print only odd pages
-e : print only even pages
...
And I get the following error when running in a docker image:
pdf2image.exceptions.PDFInfoNotInstalledError: Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH?
I still assume I have made the mistake. But, it seems like the results that pop up on a search indicate that this is somewhat unresolved, with working scenarios achieved for some, but not all, users of the poppler library and python package pdf2image.
I don't have constraints on the debian image I use, or the pdf2image version, per say.
Is there a working configuration out there, is this issue resolved, or is there a hot spot for mistakes where everyone seems to have a similar problem (and I have fallen into the same trap)?
