Are out there some alternatives to the Poppler library?
My target is C++, in particular with the Qt 4 toolkit.

If you can compromise with few functionalities, You can live with XPdf. It is in GPLv2 but there is paid version too by http://www.glyphandcog.com/
I will recommend poppler over xpdf.

1isn't poppler derived from xpdf. So could you not license xpdf and then use poppler? – lastlink Jul 11 '19 at 13:19

Yes, it is. But they are separate projects at this point and may not be compatible in some of the implementations. – CantGetANick Aug 06 '19 at 13:45
