A comment on Show HN: PDF parsing in Racket, my weekend project. Parent comment
- To my knowledge, there are no sane C-based PDF renderers with a permissive BSD-like license
- Poppler renders to Cairo --- a _huge_ win because I don't actually have to do anything to convert Cairo surfaces to Racket's native drawing type
- I don't know / don't have the time to implement my own PDF reader/parser from scratch.
