GitHub - zotero/cross-xpdf

cross-xpdf compiles xpdf PDF tools for macOS (x64), Windows (x86, x64), Linux (x86, x64).

This is only intended to be used for pdfinfo and pdftotext.

pdfinfo is modified to output to a specified file.

pdftotext is modified to output a preprocessed JSON that contains rich and structured information about the PDF and the text extracted from it:

Also, a command line switch is added to customize the path to poppler-data directory.

PDF tools are build inside the Docker container.

macOS 10.11 SDK is needed. Place MacOSX10.11.sdk.tar.xz to the current directory. Extract it from Xcode 7.3.

git clone https://github.com/zotero/cross-xpdf
cd cross-xpdf
mv path_to_sdk/MacOSX10.11.sdk.tar.xz ./
./build.sh

./build/pdftools.tar.gz contains the built binaries and poppler-data directory.
