I am using pdf2image to convert a pdf file into image. I am using the method convert_from_path. However, I keep getting the above-mentioned error on google colab. Surprisingly this does not happen when I execute the same code on Jupyter notebook on my local machine.I need to use colab. How do I solve this error?
import pytesseract
import shutil
import os
import random
try:
from PIL import Image
except ImportError:
import Image
import cv2
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
from google.colab import files
uploaded = files.upload()
pages=convert_from_path(r"foo.pdf",500)
After executing the following code, I get the error :
UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file <_io.BytesIO object at 0x7fe6abfae5f0>
I have installed poppler-utils
