## Objectives:

- Extract Images from PDF

## Required Tools:

- [Poppler for windows](https://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/)— Poppler is a PDF rendering library . Include the pdftoppm utility
- [Poppler for Mac](http://macappstore.org/poppler/) — If HomeBrew already installed, can use brew install Poppler
- [Pdf2image](https://github.com/Belval/pdf2image)— Python module. Wraps the pdftoppm utility to convert PDF to a PIL Image object.

## Steps:

- 
  1. Install Poppler. For windows, Add “`xxx/bin/`” to env path

- 
  1. `pip install pdf2image`

**Usage**

```
import os
import tempfile
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
 
filename = 'target.pdf'
 
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as path:
     images_from_path = convert_from_path(filename, output_folder=path, last_page=1, first_page =0)
 
base_filename = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(filename))[0] + '.jpg'     
 
save_dir = 'your_saved_dir'
 
for page in images_from_path:
    page.save(os.path.join(save_dir, base_filename), 'JPEG')

```
