what version used in this, when i use it gives me poppler path error and tesseract install in pc and path settting error.....

[@jeyapauldavid5596]

Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH? the errror is comming

[@techwithzoum]

This may be because your system can not access the 'poppler' module. Here is how to set up on a Windows machine: 1. Download the poppler package from this website: poppler.freedesktop.org/ 2. Unzip it in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder 3. Provide the bin folder into a variable you name as follows poppler_path= r"C:\Program Files (x86)\poppler-24.02.0\bin" I hope this helps.
