This rendering is performed by a special library named, for + whatever reason, poppler, running inside a server program. This program is + called epdfinfo and its job is to successively read requests from Emacs and + produce the proper results, i.e. the PNG image of a PDF page. Actually, + displaying PDF files is just one part of pdf-tools. Since poppler can + provide us with all kinds of information about a document and is also able + to modify it, there is a lot more we can do with it. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <bugs-to>https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools/issues/</bugs-to> + <remote-id type="github">vedang/pdf-tools</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
