Poppler in path for pdf2image

Question

I'm trying to use pdf2image and it seems I need something called propeller :

(sum_env) C:\Users\antoi\Documents\Programming\projects\summarizer>python ocr.py -i fr13_idf.pdf Traceback (most recent call last):   File "c:\Users\antoi\Documents\Programming\projects\summarizer\sum_env\lib\site-packages\pdf2image\pdf2image.py", line 165, in __page_count     proc = Popen(["pdfinfo", pdf_path], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)   File "C:\Python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 769, in __init__     restore_signals, start_new_session)   File "C:\Python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 1172, in _execute_child     startupinfo) FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "ocr.py", line 53, in <module>     pdfspliterimager(image_path)   File "ocr.py", line 32, in pdfspliterimager     pages = convert_from_path("document-page%s.pdf" % i, 500)   File "c:\Users\antoi\Documents\Programming\projects\summarizer\sum_env\lib\site-packages\pdf2image\pdf2image.py", line 30, in convert_from_path     page_count = __page_count(pdf_path, userpw)   File "c:\Users\antoi\Documents\Programming\projects\summarizer\sum_env\lib\site-packages\pdf2image\pdf2image.py", line 169, in __page_count     raise Exception('Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH?') Exception: Unable to get page count. Is poppler installed and in PATH? 

I tried this link but it the thing to download didn't solved my problem.

pdf2image is only a wrapper around poppler (not propeller!), to use the module you need to have poppler-utils installed on your machine and in your path.

The procedure is linked in the project's README in the "How to install" section.
