The key difference is that pages are not pre-rendered by e.g. ghostscript and stored in the file-system, but rather created on-demand and stored in memory. This rendering is performed by a special library named, for whatever reason, poppler, running inside a server program. This program is called epdfinfo and its job is to successively read requests from Emacs and produce the proper results, i.e. the PNG image of a PDF page. Actually, displaying PDF files is just one part of pdf-tools. Since poppler can provide us with all kinds of information about a document and is also able to modify it, there is a lot more we can do with it. </longdescription> <upstream> <bugs-to>https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools/issues/</bugs-to> <remote-id type="github">vedang/pdf-tools</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
