This is useful for providing PDF rendering functionality as a shared library. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &poppler-md5sum; Download size: &poppler-size; Estimated disk space required: &poppler-buildsize; Estimated build time: &poppler-time; Poppler Dependencies Optional , , , , , , and Qt-4.x.x If you're installing Poppler to support , you will need to have installed so that the libpoppler-qt library is built. User Notes: Installation of Poppler If you are installing a version of Poppler >= 5.1 to support an installation of , note that command-line utilities and man pages are installed which will overwrite these same files installed by the Xpdf package. If you'd prefer to keep the Xpdf versions of these files, use the and parameters passed to the configure script to install these files to a safe location (e.g., $HOME or /tmp. An alternative method to not overwrite the command-line utilities is to use the parameter. Install Poppler by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-opi \ --enable-zlib \ --disable-splash-output \ --disable-cairo-output \ --disable-poppler-glib --disable-gtk-test && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m644 -D README /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version;/README Command Explanations --enable-opi: This parameter forces the build to include support for OPI comments. --enable-zlib: This parameter forces the build to link with the system-installed libz library to enable compressed PDF functionality. --disable-splash-output: This parameter disables building the Splash graphics backend. Remove this parameter if you have Fontconfig installed. --disable-cairo-output: This parameter disables building the cairo graphics backend. Remove this parameter if you have cairo installed. --disable-poppler-glib and --disable-gtk-test: These parameters disable building the GLib wrapper and GTK+ test program. Remove these parameters if you have GTK+-2 installed. Note that if you plan on building , you must build the GLib wrapper.
