So I have been playing with genie and vala & thought I would compile some of the examples on the vala website - one of them was a poppler example for viewing pdf files. Its not by any means perfect but it is very light weight.
One thing that I did notice when I did ldd on ppdfview was that many of the libraries in 4.2 weren't stripped. I mentioned how to do this in the pet packaging howto and there was a script a while back in the amigo, bigbass, ttuuxxx chit chat area.... to correct this problem I temporarily diverted my vala/genie to make a convenient packaging tool....so before I forget I thought I would post the pet

Very speedy.

Is it meant to be command line only? To be honest I don't care, it is a lot faster on this poor old system than the GUI viewers Smile

I packaged the mime type with it to be default viewer - so it shouldn't be command line only

error.. maybe just an older libpoppler-glib? where does the symlink point?

pointing to libpoppler-glib.so.2 (no version information) what version you suggest to get working?

@ Dingo - I compiled ppdfview in gPup 4.1.2 so it should work with the 4.X pet from ibiblio

I attach a pet with poppler from Slackware 12.0.
I had used it in Muppy, and in Newyearspup it works fine to test ppdfview.

It moght be a bit outdated, but seems to work fine.
I also add the dev package.

@Dingo - you may have to update the symlink libpoppler-glib.so.2 to point to /usr/lib/libpoppler-glib.so.2.0.0

right click on /usr/lib/libpoppler-glib.so.2.0.0
select link
change the text to /usr/lib/libpoppler-glib.so.2
click symlink

Use my latest Poppler package: poppler-0.10.6-i486 (Slack Repack modified to work in Puppy)

It works with ePDFView (Puppy 4.2) nicely (no missing dependencies).
