Hi,
I was interested in getting PDF rendering done through this module, but
that doesn't seem to be possible as of version 1.0101; I'm getting this
when trying to run the example advertised in the manpage:
| Can't locate object method "render_to_cairo" via package "Poppler::Page" at ./poppler-example.pl line 28.
Versions:
---------
Poppler 1.0101
libpoppler-dev 0.26.5-2+deb8u1
libpoppler-glib-dev 0.26.5-2+deb8u1
perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u6
Given a git grep render_to_cairo only returns hits in documentation, I
suppose this got lost during the switch to GObject introspection.
AFAIUI, the mapping is done through share/Poppler-0.18.typelib which is
compiled from poppler; the typelib file seems to contain render_to_ps
only, which is mapped to poppler_page_render_to_ps? It seems there used
to be a (poppler_page_)render_to_pixbuf but that's gone:

| glib: Remove deprecated GDK API
|
| It removes the GDK dependency so that poppler-glib now only depends on
| glib and cairo.
It doesn't seem like there are too many poppler_page_render_* functions
exported nowadays, so maybe Poppler.pm can't really be fixed to get this
feature back?
Cheers,
