Poppler is licensed under the GPL version 2.
Hire a software aware lawyer and he'll explain you what this means to you and 
what you can and can not do in your product.

Under the "i'm not not your lawyer, not even a lawyer" assumption i'm giving 
my own impressions as general guidelines:
 * If by commercial you mean something you sell, yes you can
 * If by commercial you mean something you can't share the code with buyers, 
no, probably you can not

More info on GPL at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL

As a side note, there is XPDF, the project from which poppler spawned that 
does sell non-GPL licenses, you might want to contact them.
