Hi Jonathan, That is very interesting , but from what I read poppler is GPL ? I need to find a solution that I can put into my application ( commercial ).
podofo being LGPL is much more useful. my understanding is that podofo licence would enable me to add it to my iPhone application , is that correct ?
