+Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base.
+
+NOTE: poppler-data may be installed as an optional library -
+Poppler data helps poppler render CJK and Cyrillic fonts properly.
+Note - this isn't necessarily necessary for poppler to function, but
+may be a nice feature to install.  
+
+Also note, this script was adopted from slackware's -current branch, and
+all credit should go to Patrick Volkerding for his work.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+poppler: poppler (a library for rendering PDF documents)
+poppler:
+poppler: Poppler is a library based on the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek
+poppler: Noonburg of Glyph and Cog, LLC.  Since xpdf does not provide a shared
+poppler: library, whenever a flaw was found potentially dozens of applications
+poppler: incorporating code from xpdf would have to be patched.  By providing
+poppler: a centralized PDF library this duplicated effort will be eliminated.
