[poppler] pdf import in Inkscap using poppler_glib and poppler_cairo

[the Adib]

Hello Pino,

it looks that we go for the SvgOutputDev :-)

I got poppler via git and run cmake and autogen.sh,  both won't
support glib interface. The output looks like: (my system is a ubuntu
10.04)
adib at vega:~/Projekte/poppler/poppler$ cmake .
-- checking for module 'cairo>=1.10.0'
--   package 'cairo>=1.10.0' not found
-- Found lcms version 1.18, /usr/lib/liblcms.so
Building Poppler with support for:
  font configuration:   fontconfig

  cairo output:         no
  abiword output:       yes
  qt4 wrapper:          no
  glib wrapper:         no
    introspection:      no
  cpp wrapper:          yes
  use gtk-doc:          not supported with this CMake build system
  use libjpeg:          yes
  use libpng:           yes
  use libtiff:          yes
  use zlib:             no
  use curl:             no
  use libopenjpeg:      yes
  use cms:              yes
  command line utils:   yes
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /home/adib/Projekte/poppler/poppler

Also I have question about how would that api look like. Especially to
set certain options: font replacement, colour profiles, image
embedding.

I see in that code the ABWOutputDev. This is also about xml. What
exacly is ABWOutputDev? And how does it integrate into poppler
library? In the glib interface I do not see a reference.
Is there more to learn about poppler internals? The wiki does not
bring me that far.

Thank you for any help and any pointers.

Regards,

Adib.
