Python converting pdf to image?

Question

So I'm using Wand to try to convert the pdf to an image

from wand.image import Image

with Image(filename="test.pdf") as img:
     img.save(filename="/temp.jpg")

with Image(filename="test.jpg") as img:
     img.resize(200, 150)
     img.save(filename="t.jpg")

but for some reason i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Rafael\Desktop\k\pdf to image.py", line 3, in <module>
    with Image(filename="test.pdf") as img:
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wand\image.py", line 2534, in __init__
    self.read(filename=filename, resolution=resolution)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wand\image.py", line 2601, in read
    self.raise_exception()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wand\resource.py", line 222, in raise_exception
    raise e
DelegateError: PDFDelegateFailed `The system cannot find the file specified.

' @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/798

Can i do something or is there another way to convert a pdf to an image?

Solution 1

Installing Ghostscript and adding

C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.06\bin

to your systempath should help to resolve this issue as it helped me to overcome this error....

Solution 2

The reason may be a missing ghostscript installation. This is a similar question on SO
