poppler-windows #64

Open Geo-Van opened 6 months ago

Geo-Van commented 6 months ago

Hello, Thank you for the windows working version of POPPLER. Please let me know:

  1. The poppler download versions are all x64bit versions. Can you please in future provide also x32bit versions?

  2. Using the poppler pdftocairo [ example: (pdftocairo -pdf -r 300 input.pdf output.pdf) ] to convert a pdf to pdf, unfortunately the links are destroyed. Can please pdftocairo flatten annotations but keep hyperlinks?

  3. Using the poppler pdftocairo [ example: (pdftocairo -pdf -r 300 input.pdf output.pdf) ] : If the input.pdf has not embedded fonts, it is observed that the output.pdf in some cases substitutes unknown fonts with CairoFont-13-1, CairoFont-4-1 etc fonts and the substitution is almost perfect. Does pdftocairo uses its own fonts library or borrow fonts from c:\windows\fonts ?

Hi!

Sorry for the super long delay here.

For all of these questions we need to look upstream. For points 2 and 3 specifically you would need to go to either the conda Poppler repo or more specifically the main Poppler community for help. This repo just packages so I cant really help.

For point 1 I will keep that open for people to jump on if they have time. I don't know how much interest there still is in 32 bit Windows binaries right now, but it cant hurt to investigate.

Thanks!

The last know 32 bit binary released was in TexLive 2022 thus those of use still using 32bit windows systems are stuck at that point in time. The 64 is also falling behind but 32 bit so horrendous to try to compile in older versions of MS VC I gave up and use the ancient TL ones

Perhaps on the next 64bit run a 32bit might be very welcome to bring it 2 more years upto-date
