Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base.
PyPoppler is a wrapper which exposes the poppler API to the python
world. It is fairly complete, most of the API are covered.
The documentation is actually missing, help wanted :)
PyPDF2 is a library for handling PDF files for python. It is an
enhanced version of pyPdf, supporting more PDF files encountered
in the wild with better error handling.

- HP Photosmart 5521 e-All-in-One Printer
Launchpad fixes:
1209339 - HP OfficeJet G55 is not detecting through USB
1209352 - Collate broken under Fedora 19/CUPS-1.6/hplip-3.13.7 as hpps
sends SET COPIES
Issues fixed:
- Added support for print queue addition using hostname(hp-setup
<HOSTNAME>)
- Fix for plugin installation and test page in 'hp-setup -i'
* Background printing (BGPrint) is a new feature allowing an accumulated page clist to be rendered by one or more rendering threads whilst the interpreter (in the "main" thread) continues to accumulate the subsequent page's clist. For certain classes of file this can result in a useful performance increase.
* GrayDetection allows suitably written devices to detect "color" input in near neutral tones (i.e. near monochrome) and to convert "on-the-fly" to pure grayscale, whilst retaining the ability to print full color on demand. This is primarily aimed at workflows where saving ink (especially color inks) is required.
* LittleCMS2 and libpng have both been updated to the latest versions.
* Support has been added to build the Ghostscript DLL for WinRT for x86, x64 and ARM (Requires MS Visual Studio 2012 Pro).
* Processing of Windows command line arguments into UTF8 (as presaged a few releases ago) has been enhanced and enabled by default.
* The URW Postscript font set has been updated to the latest version, fixing many compatibility problems with the Adobe fonts.
* Plus the usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
