Well, you'll first need a SMOKE lib for poppler, which wraps all the method 
calls in some nicely accessible way. You should use smokegen for that (look at 
the kdebindings sources).

Once you have that, you need to generate the C# sources. Qyotoassemblygen 
works better and more reliably than the kalyptus generator, but the assemblies 
it produces are not 100% compatible with the current C# sources. You might 
have to fiddle around with it a bit.

Currently I don't have much ambitions to carry on working on Qyoto/Kimono, 
since not many people are using it and it's a closed platform after all. I'm 
CC'ing the kdebindings ML, so other people can help as well.
