Hmmm. I just rebuilt from the tar.gz which is in Upstream's SRPM - this doesn't build pdftoppm, although the Source is there.

Okay. The spec file does a:

%configure --enable-cairo-output --disable-splash-output

ChangeLog says:

2006-02-23 Albert Astals Cid aacid@kde.org

    * utils/Makefile.am: Do not build pdftoppm when SplashOutputDev
    * is disabled as that does not work

rpm -q --changelog poppler says:

• Mon Sep 05 2005 Kristian Høgsberg krh@redhat.com - 0.4.2-1

• Update to 0.4.2 and disable splash backend so we don't build it.

I think that explains it. Up to you if you want to file a bug report. But that sounds more like an RFE to me.

Thanks for checking into this, Ralph. I checked on my FC7 instance and the changelog line is there as well, so I'm assuming - --disable-splash-output is not part of poppler-0.5.4-7.fc7 package, which explains why pdftoppm is present on the FC7 instance.

Thanks again! Max
