Question: The most recent version of [ScraperWiki](https://scraperwiki.com/) depends on [Poppler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppler_(software)) (or so the GitHub says). Unfortunately, it only specifies how to get it on macOS and Linux, not Windows.

A quick googling turned up nothing too promising. Does anyone know how to get Poppler on Windows for ScraperWiki?

Answer: 
Other answers have linked to the correct download page for Windows users but do not specify how to install them for the uninitiated.

1. Go to [this page](http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/) and download the binary of your choice. In this example we will download and use `poppler-0.68.0_x86`.
2. Extract the archive file `poppler-0.68.0_x86.7z` into `C:\Program Files`. Thus, the directory structure should look something like this:

```
C:
    └ Program Files
        └ poppler-0.68.0_x86
            └ bin
            └ include
            └ lib
            └ share

```

3. Add `C:\Program Files\poppler-0.68.0_x86\bin` to your system `PATH` by doing the following: Click on the Windows start button, search for `Edit the system environment variables`, click on `Environment Variables...`, under `System variables`, look for and double-click on `PATH`, click on `New`, then add `C:\Users\Program Files\poppler-0.68.0_x86\bin`, click `OK`.
4. If you are using a terminal to execute poppler (e.g. running `pdf2image` in command line), you may need to reopen your terminal for poppler to work.
5. Done!
[Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/)
=====================================

Poppler is available as [Chocolatey package](https://chocolatey.org/packages/poppler):

```
choco install poppler

```

By default Poppler is installed in `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\poppler` and shims are automatically created for the following tools: `pdfdetach`, `pdffonts`, `pdfimages`, `pdfinfo`, `pdfseparate`, `pdftocairo`, `pdftohtml`, `pdftoppm`, `pdftops`, `pdftotext`, `pdfunite`.

To update Poppler, run:

```
cup poppler

```

[Scoop](https://scoop.sh/)
==========================

Install from the [main bucket](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tree/master/bucket):

```
scoop install poppler

```

By default Poppler is installed in `~\scoop\apps\poppler` and shims are automatically created for the following tools: `pdfdetach`, `pdffonts`, `pdfimages`, `pdfinfo`, `pdfseparate`, `pdftocairo`, `pdftohtml`, `pdftoppm`, `pdftops`, `pdftotext`, `pdfunite`.

To update Poppler, run:

```
scoop update poppler

```

[TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/)
========================================

As mentioned in [another answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46906992/7589898), [MiKTeX](https://miktex.org/) currently ships with Poppler tools, and so does another LaTeX distribution, TeX Live.
From [the guide](https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html):

> 
> **Command-line tools**.
> 
> 
> A number of Windows ports of common Unix command-line programs are installed along with the usual TeX Live binaries. These include `gzip`, `zip`, `unzip`, and the utilities from the poppler suite (`pdfinfo`, `pdffonts`, …)
>

Poppler suite is located by default in `C:\texlive\<year>\bin\win32` and, if you can compile your LaTeX documents, should work out of the box since this location is added to the PATH by the installer.
