    <para>The <application>Poppler</application> package contains a PDF
    rendering library and command line tools used to manipulate PDF files.
    This is useful for providing PDF rendering functionality as a shared
    library.</para>

    <para>This old version is usable by <xref linkend="kdegraphics"/>.  If you are not
    building that package, please use <xref linkend="poppler"/>. The two versions of
    <application>poppler</application> install similar programs, libraries, and

    <caution>
      <para><application>Poppler</application> will overwrite command-line
      utilities and man pages previously installed by the
      <application>Xpdf</application> package. If you prefer to keep the
      <application>Xpdf</application> versions of these files, pass the
      <option>--disable-utils</option> parameter to the
      <command>configure</command> command below.</para>
    </caution>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;

    <para>If you wish to download and install the optional encoding files to
    render CJK and Cyrillic properly, please follow the instructions for the Additional
    Encoding Data on the <xref linkend="poppler"/> page - this version of
    <application>poppler</application> will automatically read them if they are
