Description
Hi, I am currently encountering the titled issue when using the convert_from_bytes function.
On my Mac, this happens specifically if I open up a fillable pdf and fill in with the preview function
Words that are filled in this way do not get converted.

If i use strict=True, and also when i test out with the pdftoppm -r 200 -jpeg sample_pdf.pdf out command on my terminal,
I get the following error message:
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'ArialMT' Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'ArialMT' Syntax Error (69): No font in show I have also gotten Unknown font tag 'Helvetica' on other files.
I have also verified that these fonts are present in my system using the fc-match ArialMT command, which returns me the respective matched font, in this case it'sVerdana.ttf: "Verdana" "Regular"
Interestingly, texts that are filled in via the textbox function remains converted as seen below:


This problem was first found on my Debian GNU/Linux 11 docker, and has the exact same behavior.
I have also already tried installing fonts like fonts-freefont-ttf fonts-liberation fonts-liberation2 ttf-mscorefonts-installer but the same issue persists.
P.S. Suspecting it might be an issue with editable fields, I also tried to flatten the pdf first using fillpdf before using convert_from_path, but the same issue remains.
Problem replicated on two systems:
-
OS: macOS Sonoma 14.2.1
-
pdf2img version: 1.17.0
-
pdftoppm/pdftotext version: 24.03.0
-
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11
-
Poppler version: 22.11.0
-
Poppler-data version: 0.4.10
Thanks in advance!
