Installing poppler with fink on Mac OSX Mountain Lion does not seem to install pdftotext utility

Question

I want to install pdftotext on MacOSX. I much prefer fink to other package installers. I used:

fink install poppler46

thinking pdftotext might be included (as it is when using brew install poppler) but it didn't seem to be. Should pdftotext have been installed and, if so, where?

I've now gone down the route of installing Homebrew but Fink and Homebrew don't seem to co-exist very happily.

Answer 1

The package you want to install most likely is called poppler-bin, or poppler46-bin, or poppler46-shlibs.

poppler46 as a package name seems to provide the library files only.
