Are you sure w3mimgdisplay is not installed?  I think it is:

$ locate w3mimgdisplay
/usr/libexec/w3m/w3mimgdisplay
$ grep w3mimgdisplay /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/w3m-0.5.3-x86_64-3_SBo:usr/libexec/w3m/w3mimgdisplay

I have not problems with displaying pdf documents as images in ranger.
I found this in
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ranger/ext/img_display.py:

W3MIMGDISPLAY_PATHS = [
    '/usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay',
    '/usr/libexec/w3m/w3mimgdisplay',
    '/usr/lib64/w3m/w3mimgdisplay',
    '/usr/libexec64/w3m/w3mimgdisplay',
]

That would indicate that ranger does not really expect w3mimgdisplay
to be in $PATH.
