Policy error while converting to image

[kathimohan]

I tried to convert to image but getting the error - PolicyError: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `PDF' @ error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/421

The code is

import pdfplumber

pdf_name = "outputk.pdf"
with pdfplumber.open(pdf_name) as pdf:
pages = len(pdf.pages)
print(pages)
p = pdf.pages[0]
im = p.to_image()

Changed the policy to read/write for pdf but didn't work

Hi @kathimohan, do the answers in #81 (comment) help resolve this for you?

In file /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml (or /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml)

1. comment line

<!-- <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="MVG" /> -->

2. change line

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />

to

<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

3. add line

<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="LABEL" />

Then restart your computer.
