Debug

Known issues

gotchaSystem dependency: Requires poppler-utils (specifically pdftoppm) to be installed. Not a pure-Python library.

fix

Install poppler-utils via system package manager (e.g., apt-get install poppler-utils on Ubuntu, brew install poppler on macOS).

affects: all

gotchaOutput directory must exist; the library does not create it automatically.

fix

Ensure the output directory exists before calling convert_pdf_to_png.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library uses pdftoppm which may have version-specific flags. No active maintenance recently, may not work with newer poppler versions.

fix

Consider alternatives like pdf2image or PyMuPDF for better compatibility.

affects: 0.2.4
