Hi all,

I am on a modernization for our pdf importer.

I would like to replace poppler becouse its gpl v2 and the license is just difficult to digest for our code.

We have 2 other options where to move to.

1)  Apache PDFBox, with the price of needing java. But our own project. maybe we could have a collab there.

2) PDFium, with the price of beeing class b BSD license, but native implementation.

I try our own food first. Then we still can decide to move on.

---

A second thing.

Import yes or no, we maintain an own pdfparser. It reads pdf, identifies passwords encrypts and so on.

It is not the full import, just enough to identify and open the file in a special case of hybrid pdf.

We could replace that code with qpdf. It would serve the same purpose, same license.  But less maintenace for us.

Is that something we should go for?


All the best

Peter
