Description Eirik 2009-06-30 16:22:57 UTC

poppler/poppler-utils replaced xpdf in el5, however pdftoppm isn't being distributed with poppler-utils:

el4 xpdf:
/usr/bin/pdftoppm <--- 
/usr/bin/pdftops
/usr/bin/pdftotext
/usr/share/man/man1/pdftoppm.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdftops.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdftotext.1.gz

el5 poppler-utils:
NOKEY, key ID 37017186
/usr/bin/pdffonts
/usr/bin/pdfimages
/usr/bin/pdfinfo
/usr/bin/pdftohtml
/usr/bin/pdftops
/usr/bin/pdftotext
/usr/share/man/man1/pdffonts.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdfimages.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdfinfo.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdftohtml.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdftops.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pdftotext.1.gz

Comment 2 Ingvar Hagelund 2011-01-14 11:16:28 UTC

Rebuilding poppler-utils with pdftoppm requires --disable-splash-output, which is non-compatible with fontconfig, if I have understood this correctly. I tried to do this, but ended up with lots of font related errors from pdftoppm. 

So with the version of poppler in rhel5, this is not doable without a bit heavier patching.

The easiest workaround is probably to grab the epel xpdf package, and readd pdftoppm there, like this, see attached patch.

attaching a patch for xpdf in a poppler bug seems a bit strange, so I just put it here: http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/xpdf.spec.pdftoppm.patch

Best regards,
