Hiya, and thanks for the suggestion. I added some documentation re. im.show(), in https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber/commit/5c7787b771c9307ae92b3c00526bf076a0cc0f8f

Does that suffice, or would you find it more helpful if non-Jupyter setups were more explicitly called-out?

Great!

IMHO this is too deep in the documentation and difficult to find when we start with pdfplumber.

Maybe here: https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber#basic-pageimage-methods

Or better here: https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber#creating-a-pageimage-with-to_image This paragraph here is only working for those using Jupyter, and others are a bit lost :)

Thanks for those suggestions, @josephernest! Now updated on the develop branch to be a bit more explicit in the "Creating a PageImage" section: https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber/tree/develop#creating-a-pageimage-with-to_image
