It switched to Poppler from version 0.2. In version 0.4, it changed to MuPDF for more speed[3] and better support for the Windows platform. Poppler remained as alternative engine for a time, and from version 0.6 to 0.8 it was automatically used to render pages that MuPDF failed to load. Poppler was removed in version 0.9, released on 10 August 2008. In July 2009, Sumatra PDF changed its license from GNU GPLv2 to GNU GPLv3 to match the same license change on MuPDF.[25] ... </quote> anon@lowtide:~$ apropos pdf |wc -l 163 anon@lowtide:~$ apropos pdf |grep ^pdf |wc -l 41 anon@lowtide:~$ which xpdf /usr/bin/xpdf anon@lowtide:~$ which mupdf /usr/bin/mupdf anon@lowtide:~$ dpkg -L poppler-utils |grep /usr/bin/ |wc -l 11 anon@lowtide:~$
