No, it just needs to be tweaked on your system.  By default, for some  
reason, everything is turned off in the file that controls that  
stuff:  /sw/etc/xpdfrc .   You'll either need to edit that, or copy it  
to your home directory as follows:

cp /sw/etc/xpdfrc ~/.xpdfrc

and then edit the .xpdfrc file.

That piece of information probably ought to get put in the package  
description.
