We have a new pdf parser (pplib from Paweł Jackowski) that replaces poppler. It is much smaller, a bit faster and it's written in pure C [...]
Is there a project page for pplib? The source code of this library contained in TeXLive is very, very uncommented – in particular, a description of the API is completely missing, AFAICS. It also comes with overly long lines and extremely densely written C code; it almost feels as if the original source has been written with cweb or something like that. Werner
