Oh, you mean [1]? I did that in a bored hour literally years ago, but
it has never been picked up by any distro and packaged properly (not
by Ubuntu either). I haven't looked into this again for ages, but I
think porting the current xpdf UI to poppler would be fairly easy,
too. For that to be sustainable, though, it shuold be done in a better
way with #ifdefs, etc., so that upstream might accept it.
