At the time this project was created there might be not a lot of options to extract the texts from an pdf.
Poppler was/is a very good library for extracting the texts.
But a common complaint/constraint is that it cannot be installed with a simple pip install.
(and it's license)
Now there are some more options for extracting libraries.

I'd like to propose to remove poppler as a HARD dependency.
Instead use PyPDF as the default input module.
