Poppler_jll.jl provides pdftocairo binary which could be a replacement for pdf2svg.

A good is that users no longer need to have external pdf2svg installed manually. A caveat though is that jll requires Julia 1.3+.

Only tested on macOS for now. I believe it should work on Windows and Linux too.

This is great!

This is good with me. @tawheeler are you okay with the merge?

An all-Julia implementation is definitely better. Assuming it works on Windows and Linux, we're good.
