I am trying to use python to automate the conversion of pdf-docs into png-docs (pdf2image). So far the python-script works as hoped, but when I try to distribute my little programm to other people (using pyinstaller to convert the script into a exe-file) something goes wrong. However, when I run my python-script the task is executed properly, but after starting the exe literally nothing happens.
Unfortunalety I have few experience in coding and my code might be laborious but I will be very thankful, if someone can help me.
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
import os
from pathlib import Path
absolutePath = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
newlist = []
counter = 1
def collectPDF():
items = os.listdir(absolutePath)
for names in items:
if names.endswith('.pdf'):
newlist.append(names)
number = list(range(100))
for numb in number:
if names.endswith(str(numb) + '.png'):
exit()
def convert(filename):
pages = convert_from_path(absolutePath + '/' + filename, 300)
for page in pages:
global counter
page.save(absolutePath + '/' + str(counter) + '.png', 'PNG')
counter += 1
collectPDF()
for name in newlist:
convert(name)
del newlist[:]
