So I'm trying to make a small app that takes PDF files and converts them to pictures in node.js.

I found that the package pdf2pic is pretty good for what I wanted to do.

So as instructed in that package I went and installed Ghostscript and Graphicsmagick then I installed the package. I'm on Windows btw.

here is my node.js code:

const { fromPath } = require("pdf2pic");

const options = {
  density: 100,
  saveFilename: "untitled",
  savePath: "./images",
  format: "png",
  width: 600,
  height: 600
};
const storeAsImage = fromPath("test.pdf", options);
const pageToConvertAsImage = 1;

storeAsImage(pageToConvertAsImage).then((resolve) => {
  console.log("Page 1 is now converted as image");

  return resolve;
}).catch(error => {
    console.log(error);
});

After I tun this code I get this error:

Error: Command failed: gm convert: No decode delegate for this image format (C:\Users\Yosse_M\AppData\Local\Temp\gmRuQc4v).

Here is what the command gm -version returns:
