Conversion from PDF to image

[IanDaly]

Question about an existing feature

When calling Sharp using a path to PDF or a buffer it gives an error. The error thrown is Error: Input buffer contains unsupported image format.

What are you trying to achieve?

To convert a PDF file to an image.

When you searched for similar issues, what did you find that might be related?

Similar issues point to using a globally installed version of Vips. Which I have installed through Homebrew. Conversion works as intended when calling Vips directly from the command line.

Please see https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#building-from-source for the additional dependencies required to build sharp from source against a globally-installed libvips.
