PdfiumError: Failed to load document (PDFium: File access error)

[nithinreddyyyyyy]

Below is the code i've used

def convert_pdf_to_images(file_path, scale=300 / 72):
    pdf_file = pdfium.PdfDocument(file_path)

    page_indices = [i for i in range(len(pdf_file))]

    renderer = pdf_file.render(
        pdfium.PdfBitmap.to_pil,
        page_indices=page_indices,
        scale=scale,
    )

    final_images = []

    for i, image in zip(page_indices, renderer):
        image_byte_array = BytesIO()
        image.save(image_byte_array, format='jpeg', optimize=True)
        image_byte_array = image_byte_array.getvalue()
        final_images.append(dict({i: image_byte_array}))

    return final_images

I've used that function to load the pdf file using streamlit in chrome, but it is returning error like "pypdfium2._helpers.misc.PdfiumError: Failed to load document (PDFium: File access error)"

Can anyone please help me with this?

This error means "file not found or could not be opened", so it's an integration issue, not a bug with this project.
(Therefore, I'll transfer your report to Discussions.)

Since pypdfium2 has an input.is_file() check raising FileNotFoundError if the file does not exist, I guess it might be a permission error in this case?

(Apart from that, your final_images data structure with dict({i: image_byte_array}) items is a bit odd. Why don't you just append/index image_byte_array directly? The information is the same.)

Hey! The code is working on jupyter but unable to open the pdf file in the streamlit app. Might be there's some issue with streamlit or chrome.
