Now as 0.48 is out, how about the poppler problem? How do we proceed?
regards, Adib.
Right now, I see 3 options
1: Use poppler-glib to render to a Cairo SVG surface. 2: Convince Poppler developers to stabilize the internal API. 3: Fork Poppler. 4. Use a different PDF library.
1 is good but might reduce the quality of imported documents. 2 is best but very unlikely. 3 is antisocial and evil but would preserve the current PDF import capability without regressions. I don't know much about other PDF libraries so can't comment on 4.
You missed the other option, get a new public API from the poppler developers.
That is actually what they agreed upon, and need feedback on crafting.
