Summary: PDF rendering library
Description:
Poppler is a fork of the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek Noonburg of Glyph and Cog, LLC. The purpose of forking xpdf is twofold. First, we want to provide PDF rendering functionality as a shared library, to centralize the maintenence effort. Today a number of applications incorporate the xpdf code base, and whenever a security issue is discovered, all these applications exchange patches and put out new releases. In turn, all distributions must package and release new version of these xpdf based viewers. It's safe to say that there's a lot of duplicated effort with the current situaion. Even if poppler in the short term introduces yet another xpdf derived code base to the world, we hope that over time these applications will adopt poppler. After all, we only need one application to use poppler to break even.
