pdf2image outputs 1x1 blank image
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
For some pdf files, convert_from_path, convert_from_bytes outputs a blank 1x1 PIL image. Interestingly for very similar pdfs it works fine. The documents are mostly one very long page pdfs. Any ideais?
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Unfortunately the pdfs I’m working on are confidential and I am not allowed to share
Expected behavior I would expect to see a normal PIL image, as happened to other similar pdfs.
Screenshots
Output: [<PIL.PpmImagePlugin.PpmImageFile image mode=RGB size=1x1 at 0x7FCC6C3FA4A8>]. The number of pages is correct, the pdf is just one very long page.

Can you try with support-cropbox and see if it fixes your issue?
I will upload the new package to PyPi tonight if it does.
As pdf2image is only a thin wrapper around pdftoppm, I would try directly from the CLI.
Something like
pdftoppm -r 200 -jpeg your_pdf.pdf out.jpgIf you still get a 1x1 pixel then the problem is on their side and I can’t help much.
It would also help if you could provide the exact call you do on
convert_from_path/convert_from_bytes.
