Python Wand convert PDF to PNG disable transparent (alpha_channel)
I also had some PDFs to convert to PNG. This worked for me and seems simpler than compositing images, as shown above.:
from wand.image import Imagefrom wand.color import Colorall_pages = Image(blob=self.pdf) # PDF will have several pages.single_image = all_pages.sequence[0] # Just work on first pagewith Image(single_image) as i: i.format = 'png' i.background_color = Color('white') # Set white background. i.alpha_channel = 'remove' # Remove transparency and replace with bg.
Reference: wand.image
From a previous answer, try creating an empty image with a background color, then composite over.
from wand.image import Imagefrom wand.color import Colorwith Image(filename="sample.pdf", resolution=300) as img: with Image(width=img.width, height=img.height, background=Color("white")) as bg: bg.composite(img,0,0) bg.save(filename="image.png")
Compiling the other answers, here is the function I use to convert a PDF into pages:
import osfrom wand.image import Imagefrom wand.color import Colordef convert_pdf(filename, output_path, resolution=150): """ Convert a PDF into images. All the pages will give a single png file with format: {pdf_filename}-{page_number}.png The function removes the alpha channel from the image and replace it with a white background. """ all_pages = Image(filename=filename, resolution=resolution) for i, page in enumerate(all_pages.sequence): with Image(page) as img: img.format = 'png' img.background_color = Color('white') img.alpha_channel = 'remove' image_filename = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(filename))[0] image_filename = '{}-{}.png'.format(image_filename, i) image_filename = os.path.join(output_path, image_filename) img.save(filename=image_filename)
