Comment (by dbevans):
Poppler is regularly changing their core library, libpoppler, which often
results in minor API changes. This only effects libpoppler itself and not
the higher level bindings such as libpoppler-glib which remain stable.
For this reason, the poppler developers recommend other projects avoid
using libpoppler and stick to the higher level bindings (which most
developers do). At this point there are only a half a dozen ports that
directly use libpoppler and need revbumps when poppler is updated.
Currently all these ports have been fixed either by me or upstream with
the exception of scribus-devel which is waiting an upstream fix. So
reverting poppler is really not appropriate at this time.
I'll take a look at this port in more details to diagnose what exactly is
going on here but its likely that this problem will need attention
upstream by the pdfpc developers. As maintainer of this port please make
sure that upstream is aware and working on the issue.
