Very great. Lot of thanks for sharing your progress. For poppler you
may like to have a look at

implementations using it

For the initial skeleton what means the very first code to start a
PDF-importer with I could provide some helping hands to get it done.
We could start with creating a branch in our git and add a
calligra/filters/words/pdfimport directory and then copy over the
Ascii-filter + rename + adapt the CMakeLists.txt + link against
libpoppler and create the first lines of code that use libpoppler to
have a look first code that extracts content from a PDF and writes
it into a ODT. You can ping me at IRC or write a mail to get started
on this :-)<br>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">this is my CMakeList.txt - <a href="http://paste.kde.org/176486/">http://paste.kde.org/176486/</a></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">and this is word_pdf_import.desktop file - <a href="http://paste.kde.org/176498/">http://paste.kde.org/176498/</a></font></div>
<div>I added the line </div><div>> add_subdirectory( pdfimport ) </div><div>in CMakeList.txt in <span class="Apple-style-span" style>calligra/filters/words directory. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif">I tried building the code after this without doing much modification to pdfimport.cpp and pdfimport.h (the code in them was same as asciiimport.cpp amd asciiimport.h). Build was successful but I didn't see any change in filter after launching calligraword, I mean the 'Open Document' window still wasn't showing the pdf documents neither there was any entry as pdf in drop down list of filter. So, What all changes do I need to do and in which all file to at least make pdf file visible in 'Open Document' dialog and make it accept it?</span></div>

<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"><div><br></div>whereas using poppler there is no such straing forward option to get the text line by line, I think. </font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">One method I could think of was to go to each pdf page one by one and use </font><div>
