There is also PDFView, which is based on the !PDF work and uses a lot
more of the original xpdf code: It can make use of xpdf's internal PDF
rasterizer to create a fully rendered bitmap rather than a Drawfile,
which is less useful for editing but supports much more advanced PDF
features than the original !PDF Drawfile engine.
I think also PDFView uses a slightly newer xpdf engine, but I don't
know how much difference that makes.
It does make a difference. For instance, the newer xpdf engine can
read PDF 1.5 files with cross reference streams, which are
incompatible with earlier versions of the PDF standard.
I see from my previous look at the binary:

That PDFView is from a 2007 xpdf version, which looks like the
latest 3.02 version - subsequent changes are security fixes,
rather than features.
