poppler-tools-0.5.4-33.7 RPM for i586

From SuSE Linux 10.2 updates for i386 / rpm / i586

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, 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 versions of these xpdf based
viewers.  It is safe to say that there is a lot of duplicated effort
with the current situation.  Even if poppler in the short term
introduces yet another xpdf-derived code base to the world, it is hoped
that over time these applications will adopt poppler.  After all, we
only need one application to use poppler to break even.

Second, we would like to move libpoppler forward in a number of areas
that do not fit within the goals of xpdf.  By design, xpdf depends on
very few libraries and runs on a wide range of X-based platforms.  This
is a strong feature and reasonable design goal.  However, poppler
intends to replace parts of xpdf that are now available as standard
components of modern Unix desktop environments.  One such example is
fontconfig, which solves the problem of matching and locating fonts on
the system in a standardized and well understood way.  Another example
is cairo, which provides high quality 2D rendering.  See the file TODO
for a list of planned changes.
