Comment:

 Sorry for the delay.

 Please make sure you test your ports before you submit them; this one
 failed immediately with:
 {{{
 sh: line 0: cd: .../pdf2json-0.61: No such file or directory"
 }}}

 Committed in r103666 with these further changes:

  * Added "extract.mkdir yes" because the tarball does not extract into an
 enclosing directory.
  * Added our standard modeline.
  * Removed the line "distfiles pdf2json-0.61.tar.gz" because that's the
 default.
  * Changed the primary category to "textproc" because "pdf" is not a valid
 primary category.
  * The Makefile does not honor the `--mandir` argument that the configure
 script advertises, and does not use the value which the configure script
 says is the default, resulting in:
 {{{
 Warning: violation by /opt/local/man
 Warning: pdf2json violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
 Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it
 will be an error in future releases!
 }}}
    Added a patch to fix this, which needs to be committed to the upstream
 sources. (Possibly similar changes are needed to correctly support
 `--bindir`, though that's not important for MacPorts since we're fine with
 the default.)
  * The main Makefile contained some carriage returns which made for
 difficulties in applying the above patch. Added a post-extract block to
 remove the carriage returns.
  * Added line "conflicts poppler xpdf xpdf-tools" to this port (and
 indicated that poppler, xpdf and xpdf-tools conflict with pdf2json)
 because of these problems:
 {{{
 Error: org.macports.activate for port pdf2json returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/bin/pdffonts is being used by the active poppler port.  Please
 deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate pdf2json' to force
 the activation.
 }}}
 {{{
 Error: org.macports.activate for port pdf2json returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/bin/pdffonts is being used by the active xpdf-tools port.
 Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate pdf2json' to
 force the activation.
 }}}
 {{{
 Error: org.macports.activate for port pdf2json returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/etc/xpdfrc is being used by the active xpdf port.  Please
 deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate pdf2json' to force
 the activation.
 }}}
    Ideally ports should not conflict with each other. If this can be
 fixed, please do (could pdf2json use the existing xpdf and xpdf-tools
 ports instead of providing its own copy?); otherwise, the "conflicts" line
 will at least alert users to the problem early.
  * Added a patch to remove -I/usr/local/include from Makefiles because we
 don't want to use any files the user might have installed there.
  * Added a patch to add @CXXFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS@ in src/Makefile.in so
 that we're building for the right architectures.
  * Added a patch to use @CXX@ in src/Makefile.in and splash/Makefile.in so
 that we're UsingTheRightCompiler.
  * Copied a post-patch block from the xpdf portfile to replace /usr/local
 with ${prefix} in doc/sample-xpdfrc and xpdf/GlobalParams.cc.
  * The xpdf port also adds a dependency on the ghostscript port for its
 fonts. Does pdf2json also use those fonts? If so should we add that same
 dependency so pdf2json?
