Hi Even,
I think I got building with poppler to work.
gdalinfo and ogrinfo show both:
PDF -raster,vector- (w+): Geospatial PDF
However, QGIS still thinks there is no PDF read support in QGIS. When
trying to export to GeoPDF there is a message:
GDAL PDF driver was not build with PDF read support. A build with PDF
read support is required for GeoPDF creation.
Any ideas what might still be wrong?
Why is QGIS complaining about PDF read support when I want to export GeoPDF?
Thanks and greetings,
Andreas

Andreas,
I am trying to test GeoPDF support in QGIS and have questions on the
external library dependencies in GDAL. I am trying to interpret the
notes on https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/pdf.html
Which of the three options (Poppler, PoDoFo, PDFium) is recommended? I
work on Ubuntu 18.04 and I can build libraries from source if necessary.
PoDoFo seems limited - so better not use it?
For non-rendering tasks such as creating a PDF, it should be OK, but I know I
had issues at runtime with recent versions of PoDoFo
PDFium seems to be
complicated to install -
Yes, and the driver assumes an old version of PDFium. Would require some work
to make it work with newer ones.
so perhaps poppler?
That's probably the simplest option and it will give you good results. No need
to build it from source. The version already compiled in your distro is fine.
Install the 'libpoppler-private-dev' package before building GDAL with
./configure --with-poppler
