Python Forum

I am having some problem in windows 10 and Python 3.6 -

I am following the instruction from the link: https://medium.com/@rqaiserr/how-to-conv...aab86c544f

And all the libraries seems to be install properly.

When I run :

while (count < num_pages):
    pageObj = pdfReader.getPage(count)
    count +=1
    text += pageObj.extractText()

I get:

Error:runfile('C:/Users/User/Desktop/Pdf Extraction/PDF-Python.py', wdir='C:/Users/User/Desktop/Pdf Extraction')

Looks like your problem is whatever the pdftoppm program is, not with python.
