Well, the problem is to have all your dependencies as static libraries
as well.
For me this freetype, jpeg, openjpeg, lcms, libpng, for you also
cygwin*, which you would all need as static libraries as well. This is
probably much harder than getting poppler itself building statically
(you already do not have any dependency on libpoppler at all for pdftohtml).
You can see the dependencies of your .exe or your dll with depends.exe
(Dependency Walker, search for it on google).
- From my point of view, I would rethink why you need a static file.

* it might be even impossible to have a static cygwin.dll
