When trying to convert pdf FORM it does not show checkboxes in image.

To Reproduce RFC-36.pdf

Here is the sample pdf file. If you try to convert it to images it will not show checkboxes in image.

This is weird, I just tested it and I can confirm that bounding boxes do show up:

What's your OS? I am on OS X with pdftoppm v20.12.1

I am on windows.

It can perform different in os x.

Try to convert it manually with pdftoppm -r 300 -jpeg your_file.pdf out and see if there are any warnings. Since the installation on Windows is not handled by a package manager it is not uncommon to have missing packages which cause pdf2image to fail silently.

Can you try it for this file:

output.pdf

First file was performed well manually. You can see problem in this file. I sent you wrong file.
