    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.
