Assuming pdf.js isn't up to the task yet, we have to decide:\r\n\r\n1. When to prompt for the upgrade (assuming we don't do it automatically)\r\n1. Which version of Xpdf or Poppler to send\r\n1. Whether I remember the steps necessary to customize the binaries on various platforms\r\n\r\nFor Standalone, we should probably just remove the pref installer altogether and bundle the relevant binaries.\r\n\r\nThe upside is that I believe later versions of pdftotext can handle files that ours doesn't."}}
