[poppler] Creating PDF with poppler ?

[Thomas Freitag]

Sorry, Albert!

Your previous mail reaches me during my vacation. After I started 
reading my mails again, I had tons of poppler mails in my mailbox, so I 
decided to move them into an archive to read them later, when I have the 
time to do it. That's why I missed it (and even that You commit my patch 
:-) )

I now quickly created two man pages. Are they sufficient and more 
important understandable?
