Question: The most recent version of [ScraperWiki](https://scraperwiki.com/) depends on [Poppler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppler_(software)) (or so the GitHub says). Unfortunately, it only specifies how to get it on macOS and Linux, not Windows.

A quick googling turned up nothing too promising. Does anyone know how to get Poppler on Windows for ScraperWiki?

Answer: 
[Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/)
=====================================

Poppler is available as [Chocolatey package](https://chocolatey.org/packages/poppler):

```
choco install poppler

```

By default Poppler is installed in `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\poppler` and shims are automatically created for the following tools: `pdfdetach`, `pdffonts`, `pdfimages`, `pdfinfo`, `pdfseparate`, `pdftocairo`, `pdftohtml`, `pdftoppm`, `pdftops`, `pdftotext`, `pdfunite`.

To update Poppler, run:

```
cup poppler

```

[Scoop](https://scoop.sh/)
==========================

Install from the [main bucket](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tree/master/bucket):

```
scoop install poppler

```

By default Poppler is installed in `~\scoop\apps\poppler` and shims are automatically created for the following tools: `pdfdetach`, `pdffonts`, `pdfimages`, `pdfinfo`, `pdfseparate`, `pdftocairo`, `pdftohtml`, `pdftoppm`, `pdftops`, `pdftotext`, `pdfunite`.

To update Poppler, run:

```
scoop update poppler

```

[TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/)
========================================

As mentioned in [another answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46906992/7589898), [MiKTeX](https://miktex.org/) currently ships with Poppler tools, and so does another LaTeX distribution, TeX Live.
From [the guide](https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html):

> 
> **Command-line tools**.
>

> A number of Windows ports of common Unix command-line programs are installed along with the usual TeX Live binaries. These include `gzip`, `zip`, `unzip`, and the utilities from the poppler suite (`pdfinfo`, `pdffonts`, …)

Poppler suite is located by default in `C:\texlive\<year>\bin\win32` and, if you can compile your LaTeX documents, should work out of the box since this location is added to the PATH by the installer.
To Simply install Poppler on Windows run through the below mentioned steps without touching the environmental varible.

1. Download the Latest Poppler Binary from the URL: <http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/index.html>
2. Unzip it and copy the poppler-0.68.0\_x86 folder in some path for ex, C:/User/Poppler/poppler-0.68.0\_x86/poppler-0.68.0/bin

Now go to your Python code where you want to call Poppler for image conversion and use the below mentioned code snippet:

```
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
pages = convert_from_path('MyPdf.pdf', 500, poppler_path = r'C:\User\Poppler\poppler-0.68.0_x86\poppler-0.68.0\bin')
for page in pages:
    page.save('out.jpg', 'JPEG')

```
