Part of PDF rendering and conversion using Poppler, I have following code in place but executing code ended-up having error which is mentioned below.
Error message: pdf2image.exceptions.PDFInfoNotInstalledError: Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH?
I have added the Poppler path as environment variable but error still persist.
import tempfile,os
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as path:
images_from_path = convert_from_path("C:\\Users\\mehak\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\iffco.pdf")
index = 1
for image in images_from_path:
image.save("C:\\Users\\mehak\\OneDrive\\Desktop" + str(index) + ".jpg")
index += 1```

I followed these steps to include path and it works as expected.
