I wanna to use pytesseract. This is my code.
import pytesseract
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
PDF_file = 'file.pdf'
text = ''
pages = convert_from_path(PDF_file, 500)
pageText = str(((pytesseract.image_to_string(pages[0]))))
and at result I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\pdf2image\pdf2image.py", line 409, in pdfinfo_from_path proc = Popen(command, env=env, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 854, in init self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 1307, in _execute_child hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args, FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

As a lot of comments already pointed out, the error message
PDFInfoNotInstalledError( pdf2image.exceptions.PDFInfoNotInstalledError: Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH?
Tells you precisely what went wrong: Poppler is not installed. Please refer to the README for help on that side.
You see, pdf2image is only a wrapper around the pdftoppm command-line utility. On Linux it is installed by default so you would not need to bother with it, but on Windows it is not.
