libpoppler is not considered a public API. The frontend libraries
(libpoppler-{qt5,glib,cpp}) are and therefore have API and ABI stability
guarantees. Applications should try to target those and avoid working
directly against Poppler's internal interfaces as much as possible. If
the frontend libraries miss any specific functionality, people will
usually try to expose that in a way that is idiomatic for the frontend
in question.

Best regards,
Adam
