How to Install Poppler for Python 3 in Linux

How to install poppler in ubuntu 15.04?

What you downloaded from poppler site is source code and you may not be expert enough to install it yourself. For such situations, Ubuntu and other linux distros manage packages of popular software so you don't have to go through manual installation via source code. In your case, poppler for python is available in package python-poppler which can be installed via Ubuntu's package manager apt.

To install poppler python bindings open terminal and run this:

sudo apt-get install python-poppler

You should have poppler available in python then.

To search for such packages in future you can do apt-cache search poppler. It will list down all packages you can install via apt.

How to install Poppler on Windows?

Poppler Windows binaries are available from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/Public/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ -- but note that those aren't quite up-to-date.

If you're looking for Python (2.7) bindings (as this question's tag suggests), I requested them in the past via this bug report. A couple of people apparently managed to produce something, but I haven't checked those out yet.

As for a more recent (python bindings unrelated) poppler Windows binaries Google result, see http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/

Finally, there's the brand-new (and currently very frequently updated) PyGObject all-in-one installer (mainly aiming to provide PyGObject-instrospected Gtk+3 Python bindings etc. for Windows), so if that's what you're looking for, go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/?source=navbar
