I want to convert pdf files into jpeg files and save them as ImageField in Django. In my case, I already have pdf files in MyModel and some of them will be converted into jpeg files and saved as jpeg files as ImageField in AnotherModel.

pdf_path = MyModel.object.pdffile.path

If I use "convert_from_path" provided by pdf2image, I think it is necessary to prepare the path for a jpeg file in advance. However, I don't know how to prepare it before creating each record of ImageField.

You can use pre save Django signal. in that you can convert the PDF into image and then save it. – Shreeyansh Jain Oct 30 '21 at 17:20
