Last year I implemented a pdf import via poppler-cairo - without using poppler internal structures. I think there should not be two import possibilities I would "disable" the import via poppler-cairo.
- there are no fine grained import options,
- text is converted to strokes always
Please don't do that: FWIU import via poppler-cairo is the only way to import a document with a font not installed in the system. It works perfectly and the only acceptable alternative would be if in the regular PDF import dialog an option to convert fonts to stroke is added and implemented. If I'm missing something, please let me know because the ability to import a document exactly as it appears on a PDF viewer (i.e. without mangling fonts and kerning) is pretty relevant. Thanks.
I have also experienced issues with the default PDF importer which were not present in the poppler-cairo based importer.
I think the import method should be selectable from the PDF import dialog.
