Text spacing (horizontal) decreases/changes due to pdf2image #191

Original PDF snapshot: image (1) Converted PNG snapshot: image (2)

Code used:

dpi = 300 # dots per inch
pages = convert_from_path(PDF_FileName, dpi)
for i in range(len(pages)):
   page = pages[i]
   page.save('output_{}.png'.format(i), 'PNG')

Windows 10 64-bit machine.

Text spacing (horizontal) decreases/changes due to pdf2image -> Could have troubles with OCR from these PNGs.

Hi! Sorry for the late reply.

Can you try to convert your PDF using pdftoppm? If the issue is there as well then I am afraid I can't fix it on my side, as it is an issue with how poppler renders the PDF.
