How easy should it be to use libpoppler to run reports about PDFs in
one's library (rather than using libpoppler to render the PDFs)?
Depends on what the queries are ;).
For example, I'd like to be able to run queries like these:
- What PDFs consist entirely of images and no text?
That can't be done at the libpoppler level. You would have
to create a custom OutputDev and run that - low level Xpdf.
- Who are the authors of the PDFs?
ASSUMING that info is in the PDF - you can get that from libpoppler.
- Reset the 'author' of the PDFs in this folder to the string
following the first heading.
Poppler has no support for PDF writing/modification.
- Given the support for annotations discussed earlier, what PDFs
have annotations?
Won't know till the annotation support is implementated.
In the meantime, there are other tools/libraries out there
that you could use to get that information (and more).
