For the record, the competing PDF libraries are:

mupdf/fitz (C) (GPL2 or later; GPL3 or later encouraged)
gnupdf (C) (GPL3 or later)
podofo (C++) (LGPL2 or later for the library; GPL2 or later for the tools)

Mupdf is from those behind ghostscript, gnupdf is a GNU project and
podofo is hosted at:

   http://sf.net/projects/podofo

Podofo (which, IIRC, is based on an old version of the java lib itext,
also at sf) may not be complete enough, though.
