Ask the poppler maintainer, but be prepared for lots of **** in return.
He is famous for being completely ignorant in some respects.

Good example are the permanent API breakage, and then, if you want to
have some fun:
https://github.com/giddie/poppler-cairo-backend
  for info and background
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25240
  for the very enjoyable exchange with this guy.

Very disturbing that we have to depend on such a badly managed software.
