Hello everybody
Hi
I'm working on a new Xournal version (Xournal++, not yet present on a
webpage, only in the SVN).
I used Poppler to display PDF and also for PDF export, to implement the
PDF export (merging two PDFs together) I access Poppler without any
frontend.
I'm working on Ubuntu, which contain all necessary headers, but other
distributions don't.
Now there is a discussion if it's allowed to access Poppler without
frontend, or not.
I thought it should be allowed, because on the poppler Wiki are also two
projects listed which access poppler without frontent,
But now I need a clear answer if it's allowed or not, and if not if
there is another way for me to implement this without breaking any rules.
It is not encouraged since we reserve the right to change the API (and do so)
at any release (minor versions included) while our API in the frontends is
much more stable.
If you tell us what you are missing from the public frontend API we might add
it, or you might even contribute the code you have that uses the internal API
so we add it to our frontend ;-)
in my case, I use that API as I use another framework than glib or QT. I
know that the API can change, so it's not a problem (for me).
