I wanted Xpdf on my Centos machine, but I could not find a binary that had the newest patch level. So I used
http://mbrisby.blogspot.com/2007/06/xpdf.html and extended it. I respect poppler and just add the program xpdf. Further I patch some known bugs.
Download the source rpm here :
xpdf-3.02-5.src.rpmThank you Carl for the nice spec file. Here is my extended one.

%description
Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files. (These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from
the name of Adobe's PDF software.) The Xpdf project also includes a
PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other
utilities.
Xpdf runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X
components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and
should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient. It can use Type 1 or
TrueType fonts.

Now you should have many HTML files and some images. This might already be enough for you reader but I prefer to have everything in one file and not have 100 of html files clogging everything. So the next task is to convert all these files into one coherent pdf file.
Now the only thing you have to do is import all the html files and configure the output you want and you should get a pdf. This might not look 100% like the book but the text and images should be the same.
