Hi Jonathan,

That is very interesting , but from what I read poppler is GPL ?
I need to find a solution that I can put into my application ( commercial ).

podofo being LGPL is much more useful. my understanding is that podofo 
licence would enable me
to add it to my iPhone application , is that correct ?

Thanks

Damien
