You need to change

def convertDocument(inputfile):
    ...

to

def convertDocument(self, inputfile):
    ...

it's NameError: name 'convIMG2JPG' is not defined – B'Bie Pansiri Feb 04 '20 at 10:25

you need to do `self.convIMG2JPG(inputFile)`. Try reading the errors you are getting and google them. – dangee1705 Feb 04 '20 at 10:26
