Is there a way to install poppler for python 3 in linux?
I have used apt-get install python-poppler to install it for python 2, but I haven't found how to do it for python 3.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

Would you be fine with using `pip` for installation? – edwinksl Sep 16 '16 at 17:15

I would love to use pip (pip3?) for installation – Pablo Guerrero Sep 16 '16 at 19:07

I ran into a problem while trying to use `pip` to install though. I will write an answer later if I can figure out how to solve it. – edwinksl Sep 16 '16 at 20:54

On Ubuntu 16.04 you can install the package python3-poppler-qt4 or python3-poppler-qt5, e.g.,:
sudo apt-get install python3-poppler-qt4
python3-poppler-qt5 does not appear to be available on releases prior to Xenial, and python3-poppler-qt4 can be installed this way on 16.04 or 15.10, but not earlier.

thanks for your answer. I have Ubuntu 14.04 trusty. So apparently this solution doesn't work for me. – Pablo Guerrero Sep 16 '16 at 11:27

1@PabloGuerrero This is why you should always specify in your question what Linux distribution you are using. – edwinksl Sep 16 '16 at 11:30
