The poppler utils make use of the internal poppler API to the poppler
library to perform their function. Poppler also provides various
stable API bindings that can be used instead:

  *  glib (GLib/C) -- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/glib
  *  cpp (C++) -- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/cpp
  *  qt4 (Qt4/C++) -- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/qt4

See the demo/tests folder for example usage.

Thanks
