Re: [poppler] Linking Poppler to Code::Blocks

Hi Jason,
That makes a bucket load of sense, I've been just linking to a generic
libpoppler.dll.a file as opposed to the file you described -
lipoppler-cpp.ddl.a.
However the problem is, is that when I built codeblocks poppler project, it
only created the libpoppler.dll.a and libpoppler-qt4.dll.a files. And
while there is a cpp folder in the build directory it is only populated
with folders that have to do with Cmake (CMakeFiles, cmake_install,
CTestTestfile etc...).
Do you have any idea why this might be the case? Is it for example that the
C++ front end needs particular dependencies and if Cmake doesn't find them
it doesn't build the C++ front end? If so do you know what the dependencies
are for the C++ front end?
Thank you for any help you can provide me.
Kind regards
Chris
Sorry for the delay. I have been without internet access for a few
days. Also, please send your replies to the mailing list.
I don't know why it didn't build libpoppler-cpp.dll for you. I just
tried with CMake and CodeBlocks on Windows and it built the library.
Yes, if the dependencies are not available, or if ENABLE_CPP is
disabled, it will not build the CPP frontend. The only dependency I
am aware of is Iconv. CMake should state whether the 'cpp wrapper' is
being built when you configure it.

Good Day All,
Firstly, I do apologize if this is the incorrect forum in which to ask my
questions however, I'm really at my wit's end with this problem and I was
hoping one of you could perhaps help me.
Basically I wish to write code that will allow me to extract annotations
from PDFs. However, I'm yet to write any code as I've spent an inordinate
amount of time in just getting Poppler built. These are the steps I've
followed so far:
{System specs: Windows 7, MinGW, CodeBlocks}
1) I have a folder structure like so:
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\
-poppler-0.22.2
-poppler-0.22.2_Build
The file poppler-0.22.2 is the unzipped source files while the
poppler-0.22.2_Build file was made by the Cmake GUI with Cairo, JPEG,
QT4
and TIFF included. Furthermore, Cmake was instructed to generate a
CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles.
2) After the CodeBlocks project was generated by Cmake, the project was
built in CodeBlocks and I was left with the following:
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2_Build\
--CMakeFiles
--cpp
--poppler
--qt4
--test
--utils
--cmake_install.cmake
--CMakeCache
--config.h
--CTestfile.cmake
--libpoppler.dll
--libpoppler.dll.a
--Makefile
--poppler.cbp
--poppler.layout
3) Now i need to link the poppler library to my project. Therefore in
CodeBlocks I did the following:
a)Settings-Compiler-Linker settings: Link libraries
and I set the path to:
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2_Build\libpoppler.dll.a
b)Then in Settings-Compiler-Search directories-Linker
I set the path to:
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2_Build\
c)Then I set up the linking for my project:
Project-Build Options-Linker settings
and set the path to
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2_Build\libpoppler.dll.a
d)And finally:
Project-Build Options-Search directories-Linker
and add the path:
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2_Build\
4) I have now written the following code in my main.cpp just to see if
everything works:
1 : #include iostream
2 : #include
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2\cpp\poppler-global.h
3 : #include
C:\Users\Chris\Documents\Poppler\build\poppler-0.22.2\cpp\poppler-document.h
4 :
5 : using namespace std;
6 :
7 : int main()
8 : {
9 :
10:
11: const string dir =
C:\\Users\\Chris\\Documents\\WorkForDad\\2013\\Pdf Automation\\Anotation
Extraction\\Remuneration Report.pdf;
12:
13:poppler::document *doc = poppler::document::load_from_file(dir);
14:
15:return 0;
16: }
However, I get the following error in myBuild messages when I build the
code:

[poppler] Java version of poppler
Hi all! Due to several requests here with no really response I know that there is no really need here, but nevertheless, I want to announce, that I successfully completed and regtested the porting of that part of poppler I need for my purpose to Java last weekend. My cms-images.jar is not an executable but a library which contains methods - to extract metadata - modify metadata - extract thumbnails - repair structures - extract PDF pages In other words, pdfinfo, pdffont and pdfseparate can be done in pure Java. For this I ported over 80 % of poppler core code to Java. What is missing are the pure image streams like DCT and JPEG2000, font handling and some of the annotation stuff. And I ported only one output device, PlateScannerOutputDev, which is an extension to PreScanOutputDev, so that I can also extract informations about used plate names and colorants and if overprint is used, which is rarely used but very important in prepress area. Here an example of the output of a small dump tool written using this library: Dump ./010_ReadMe_Ghent_Output_Patch.pdf dc:creator : Andy Psarianos dc:description : Ghent Output Patches dc:format : application/pdf dc:rights : Copyright © 2007, Ghent PDF Workgroup (http://www.gwg.org).

The name of the properties are XMP compliant, and the library also contains the XMP scheme which is parsable by the included XMPReader and writable by the XMPWriter, even if the scheme itself isn't used, the implementation was done with JAXB. The cms-images.jar does not only support PDF (this was my last but not least supported format) but also JPG, TIFF and PNG in the moment. But because it is completely undocumented at the moment, I don't want to publish it as yet, but I plan to do it sometime this year. If anyone here about anybody who is interested in it in the meantime: he can contact me and I'll provide him the source code or anything else he need.
