Version 0.1.0.1 of Haskell package pdftotext has been released.

This version fixes one bug which caused problems when multiple
PDFs were processed and makes pdftotext easier to build on MacOS.

Changelog:

 - Require C++11 standard
 - Prevent deletion of document pointer before its pages

Pdftotext extracts text from PDF using poppler.

Hello!

Thanks for all your input which was very helpful.

Could you please try newly published version 0.1.0.1? It is on Hackage.
I believe it will solve the issue with segmentation faults.

Thank you.

Hello, Erik.

Thanks for reporting.

I tried to read all the PDFs with pdftotext and poppler 20.11 on Linux but have not seen a segfault yet.

Could you please try the following?

1. If you `import Pdftotext.Internal`, you can use IO version of `pdftotext` function,
   i. e. `pdftotextIO`. Could you try using that instead of `pdftotext`?

2. Could you try `propertiesIO` or `pagesTotalIO` instead of `pdftotextIO`? This reads the
   PDF file but does not try to extract text, only some metadata.

Thanks a lot for the links.

Well, it seems that it is somewhere deep inside GHC. I am afraid
there is not much I can do besides adding some note into README.
So that's what I will do.

Thanks again and please let me know if there is something I could
improve in the library.

Hello, Erik.

Unfortunately I cannot try on MacOS but after some searching and
testing, it seems that poppler requires to be compiled with standard
C++11 while your compiler does not use it by default.

Could you try to clone the project, modify .cabal and then point stack
dependency to the local version?

> hg clone https://hg.sr.ht/~geyaeb/haskell-pdftotext
> cd haskell-pdftotext

Edit pdftotext.cabal by adding "-std=c++11" to "cc-options".
The line now looks like:
