Paddle OCR Issue when passing pdf file for text detection

Hi i am facing issue when passing pdf file to paddleocr

My code is:

!paddleocr --image_dir /content/SER-1678793239.pdf --use_angle_cls true --use_gpu false

Issue i am facing is:

AttributeError: 'Document' object has no attribute 'pageCount'

Although it works fine for the image files

I Tried different things changing pdf file name etc and number of pages nothing worked

You can edit directly in C:\Python3.10.0\Lib\site-packages\paddleocr\ppocr\utils\utility.py

From line 93:

 with fitz.open(img_path) as pdf:
        
        for pg in range(0, pdf.page_count):
            page = pdf[pg]
            mat = fitz.Matrix(2, 2)
            pm = page.get_pixmap(matrix=mat, alpha=False)

            # if width or height > 2000 pixels, don't enlarge the image
            if pm.width > 2000 or pm.height > 2000:
                pm = page.get_pixmap(matrix=fitz.Matrix(1, 1), alpha=False)

            img = Image.frombytes("RGB", [pm.width, pm.height], pm.samples)
            img = cv2.cvtColor(np.array(img), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
            imgs.append(img)
        return imgs, False, True

I changed camelCases to snake_case mentioned below:

pageCount -> page_count ,
getPixmap -> get_pixmap

I Solved the issue by uninstalling the pymupdf library (previously installed with paddleocr automatically) the below command

!pip uinstall pymupdf

Then installed specific version of pymupdf==1.19.0 and issue resolved successfully

!pip install --ignore-installed pymupdf==1.19.0

Now it's working fine!

Note: ! sign in front of commands tells the notebook it's a command (not a simple code) so if you are running code outside of the notebook you need to remove ! from the base.
