[gdal-dev] On external PDF libraries

Hi, 

I am trying to test GeoPDF support in QGIS and have questions on the
external library dependencies in GDAL. I am trying to interpret the
notes on https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/pdf.html 

Which of the three options (Poppler, PoDoFo, PDFium) is recommended? I
work on Ubuntu 18.04 and I can build libraries from source if necessary.
PoDoFo seems limited - so better not use it? PDFium seems to be
complicated to install - so perhaps poppler? Or should I try PDFium? 

Thanks for any recommendations, 

Andreas
