- With pervious versions of macOS, I used `sips` to convert pdfs into pngs
- ```
- /usr/bin/sips -s format png document.pdf --out document.png
- ```
- In macOS 13.3.1 Ventura, this now gives an error:
- ```
- /Users/<username>/Desktop/document.pdf
- Error: Cannot extract image from file.
- /Users/<username>/Desktop/document.png
- Error 13: an unknown error occurred
- Try 'sips --help' for help using this tool
- ```
Is there any way to repair it? (I already have an alternative approach using `pdftoppm -png -r 240 document.pdf document`, I'm just curious if this problem is repairable)
