Description Frank Küster 2006-04-03 23:44:03 UTC

As already discussed in the thread above, it would be nice if libpoppler0
wouldn't expose all its internals, but instead head a well defined API as the
frontends already have

With "thread above", I meant the URL I enter in the bug reporting tool,

If it may be of interest, since 0.13 there's a new frontend called 'cpp', which is modelled in a similar way than the existing qt/qt4/glib, but using only C++ (with the additional dependency of the iconv library, if not present in the std C library).
At the moment is quite limited (just query to document, page, font, TOC, and embedded files), hopefully will get more in the future.

Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2016-12-02 10:46:54 UTC

I'm going to mark this as fixed since we have the "cpp" frontend, it's not very feature complete, but it's where we can add new features aiming for a well defined API.
