I'm trying to use PdfHandler and I have convert and gs but not pdfinfo (which acccording to the page is why I'm getting a 0 x 0 pixels things). Apparently I have to download xpdf-utils from here: https://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html,

but I'm not sure about two things:

  1. Am I supposed to get XpdfReader or just Xpdf?
  2. If I download one of these how and where do I put it Mediawiki, meaning where do I put it in my file system, or if it is done through ssh what commands do I need to use?

I know that my hosting service is a Linux x86_64 system so if I need to get XpdfReader Linux 64.

Thanks

If it helps, I used sudo apt install poppler-utils

It's listed as an alternative so presumably I did it because I found it easier.
