https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20490 answers this question 
suggesting a big thumbs-down, 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/321720 being the 
Ubuntu report on the same issue.  Since poppler is the PDF rendering 
backend for a large portion of the popular Linux PDF readers (Evince, 
Okular, etc.), the fact that it doesn't handle 1.7 yet says this project 
doesn't want to adopt it yet to me.
