I don't know where ViewPDF currently is hosted and if somebody maintains

I could trace that to:

Based on poppler.. it looks another piece of GS software that is....

Is being based on poppler bad? Is this software bad in its design?
Nothing bad being based on poppler.. I don't know the design of that
program so I can't tell.
Poppler or xpdf can give at least some PDF functionality, while for
ghostscript, like used in GSPdf, each page is just an image, there won't
be stuff like search and I guess it will be always slower, but the
rendering quality is quite high.
Different approaches.
The discussion of xpdf vs poppler then goes beyond this thread I guess.
I tried to compile PoppletKit for Vindaloo, and it gives me this error
even though I already installed libpoppler-dev and libpopplerkit0:

Sorry I don't know, never built that software myself.
Is it useful for me to try GSPdf and edit it to add continuous scrolling
there?
What is a good starting point for getting continuous scrolling somehow
eventually?
I can't think of an easy way of adding it in GSPdf. THink of GSPdf like
an image viewer... one image after teh other, just that the images are
your pages rendered to a /tmp
