 10/6 » Hot cross-platform PDF action.
To that end, I spent some time last weekend working on 1) getting poppler compiled on win32, and 2) Updating the poppler-sharp binding initially created by aes and get that building on win32 as well.
The poppler build is pretty much guaranteed to have issue with other character sets/fonts like Japanese, etc until I can get some path stuff fixed, and the poppler-data tarball properly installed for win32.
I had to work with the poppler guys to do the binding and we fixed at least one bug to make poppler-sharp possible.
