pdf2image

A simplified port of Python's pdf2image that wraps pdftoppmand pdftocairo (part of poppler) to convert PDFs to image::DynamicImages.

Installation

Add to your project: cargo add pdf2image

pdf2image requires poppler to be installed.

Windows

Windows users will have to build or download poppler for Windows. Python's pdf2image maintainer recommends @oschwartz10612 version. You will then have to add the bin/ folder to PATH or use the environment variable PDF2IMAGE_POPPLER_PATH.

macOS

using homebrew:

brew install poppler

Linux

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

Platform-independent (Using conda)

  1. Install poppler: conda install -c conda-forge poppler
  2. Install pdf2image: pip install pdf2image

Quick Start

use pdf2image::{PDF2ImageError, RenderOptionsBuilder, PDF};

fn main() -> Result<(), PDF2ImageError> {
    let pdf = PDF::from_file("examples/pdfs/ropes.pdf").unwrap();
    let pages = pdf.render(
        pdf2image::Pages::Range(1..=8),
        RenderOptionsBuilder::default().build()?,
    );
    println!("{:?}", pages.unwrap().len());

    Ok(())
}

Changelog

  • Reviewed all occurences of .unwrap(), refactored unnecessary ones to return errors and added comments detailing why it is safe to call (Thank you @qarmin!).
