Hi Jeff

Or use trunk or latest state of 1.9 branch ;-) . 1.9 branch has been updated
with poppler 0.20 support just a bit after 1.9.1, but it will be in 1.9.2. See
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4668 if you need to patch. For 0.20 support
you need to uncomment all the POPPLER_ lines in nmake.opt (including the new
POPPLER_0_20_OR_LATER = YES)

0.18 should work too. At least I've tested it successfully on Linux.

Best regards,
