This release updates pdf2htmlEX to work with poppler-0.79.0. (It has been developed and tested on Ubuntu 19.04).

Since there is no Ubuntu/Debian package which corresponds to poppler-0.79.0 you must install a working version of poppler-0.79.0 yourself. Typically this will be by compiling poppler-0.79.0 from sources.

Install using APT

1. Install poppler-0.79.0
2. Download the deb distribution file listed below
3. Ensure your apt package information is up to date using: sudo apt update
4. Install using: sudo apt install ./pdf2htmlex_0.18.5-1.git20190927rdb4cc-0ubuntu1.disco1_amd64.deb

Install from source

Since pdf2htmlEX is no longer packaged by Debian (and hence by any of Debian's derivatives), you will need to compile pdf2htmlEX yourself.

You can do this by downloading a copy of this repository and in the resulting pdf2htmlEX directory, typing the command:

 ./dobuild

If this is successful then you can install it for system wide use by typing the command:

 ./doinstall

Note that you will require sudo privileges to do the system wide install.

To have a successful build you will require the following packages:

libpoppler-private-dev
pkg-config
cmake
make
gcc (or clang)
g++
libcairo-dev
libspiro-dev
libpng-dev
libjpeg-dev
libpoppler-dev
libpango1.0-dev
libfontforge-dev
poppler-data
openjdk-8-jre-headless (required for minimization of javascript)
