Poppler

Poppler is an open-source software library used to render and display PDF (Portable Document Format) files on computers. It enables programs, like document viewers, to open, view, and navigate PDFs by converting the file’s content—text, images, and layout—into a visual format on the screen. Developed from the Xpdf project, Poppler provides developers with tools to handle PDF documents efficiently within their applications. It is widely used in many software applications due to its reliability, flexibility, and support for various PDF features, making digital documents accessible and viewable across different platforms.
