# When Poppler method signatures change...
2+
3+
When Poppler method signatures change, use the command:
4+
5+
reset; grep -sinr <<name of method>>
6+
7+
in a local copy of the poppler source code.
8+
9+
This should provide examples of what changes the poppler
10+
programmers made to their own code to adapt to their own
11+
method signature changes.
12+
13+
In this situation, it can be helpful to have *two* local
14+
copies of the poppler source code, one copy at the last
15+
version for which pdf2htmlEX is know to work, and on copy
16+
of poppler at the new version. Once you have identified
17+
examples of the uses of the new method signatures, you
18+
can diff the poppler code between the two versions to
19+
see *how* the poppler programmers made the changes.
