Poppler is the freedesktop engine for rendering PDFs. It is a friendly fork of XPDF with some hacks from KPDF. Evince uses it. The end goal is that anybody can write a frontend and not have to work about the backend. It may also do other things that I am not aware of.
It is also a Futurama reference. Popplers were a tasty snack, which the also happened to be the young of the Aliens from Omicron Persi 8 who kept invading Earth.
