<p><font size="4">Hi Jon, </font></p>
<p><font size="4">Thanks for the insights.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I have been using OSProcess to convert PDF
document to a readable format within Cuis. The external software
suite I am using is poppler-utils and its pdftocairo utility
with command like:</font></p>
<p><font size="4">pdftocairo -r {1} -jpeg -jpegopt quality=90 -f {2}
-l {3} {4}/import.pdf {4}/page</font></p>
<p><font size="4">This software is linked to various libraries and I
guess those ones can be directly called with FFI. I have no
prior experience with that though.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I should do that at some point. The Cuis
documentation about FFI seems to be quite complete.</font></p>

I ran into this problem as well and implemented it via FFI. It's
much lighter weight than the full OSProcess package (that I only
learned about after I implemented it). This was from a few years
ago. I'll see if I can find it. If not, it is quite simple to
call into the glibc library for both functions and shared
variables.</div>
