Wouldn't it be better to just switch to popplerkit?

Hi,

If you're importing PDFKit, would it be possible to rename it?  Apple 
has a PDFKit which has a very different set of classes to this one 
which, if I remember correctly, is a thin wrapper around GhostScript 
and doesn't provide any of the PDF metadata support that Apple's 
framework offers.  Having a GNUstep framework with the same name but a 
different set of classes to an Apple one is likely to cause confusion.


I never did a comparison about the two kits and I don't know which one 
came earlier...
PDFKit is as far as I know based on xpdf and does not use ghostscript as 
a dependency, you are probably thinking about the GSPdf application instead.


What name would you propose? I also don't know if changing the name may 
be a problem with the packages of the various linux and BSD distributions.
