Thanks for the renewed effort to keep tools like this alive!

I tried starting the current development build but it complains that it can
not import "Poppler". I tried installing python-poppler but it seems that
is not the library currently used.

What do I need to install to use it on Ubuntu?

Hi. I did quite a massive upgrade of the libraries, including a switch to
GTK3 libraries. I wouldn't quite recommend using the version from the
repository right now, but I'm planning to do a proper release (and possibly
a PPA) soonish, basically as soon as I've fixed all the regressions...

The problem with the switch to GTK3 is that it is necessary to switch all
libraries because you can't mix GTK2 and GTK3 easily. With GTK3, you need
to use the so called GIR data. For poppler, I'm currently using the package
gir1.2-poppler-0.18 under Ubuntu 12.04 (still Beta...) -- I'm afraid it
does not exist for earlier Ubuntu versions. There is gir1.0-poppler-0.8 in
lucid and maverick, but I don't know whether this works...
