zlib-flate: command not found. Install zlib-flate on CentOS 7

Error :

bash: zlib-flate: command not found

bash: /usr/bin/zlib-flate: No such file or directory

I got the above error on my CentOS 7 server. To fix this error you must install qpdf package on your centos server. zlib-flate is provided by qpdf package.
qpdf is an free command line program used to convert PDF file to another PDF format.

Do the below steps to install qpdf on your CentOS / Redhat server

1. Log into your CentOS / RHEL server as ‘root’ user

2. Run the command “yum install qpdf” to install this package

command :

# yum install qpdf
 

# yum provides qpdf
[root@server src]# yum install qpdf
