Pre-requisites

• Python 3

Installation

git clone https://github.com/silvio2402/batchpdf2img.git

Installing poppler

Windows

Windows users will have to build or download poppler for Windows. I recommend @oschwartz10612 version which is the most up-to-date. You will then have to add the bin/ folder to PATH.

Linux

Most distros ship with pdftoppm and pdftocairo. If they are not installed, refer to your package manager to install poppler-utils.

Mac

Mac users will have to install poppler.

Installing using Brew:

brew install poppler
