Notes on Poppler/ActiveStorage on Heroku
Raw
README.md

To install poppler on Heroku, you need to:

  • Include the apt & activestorage buildpacks
  • Include the apt file with poppler dependencies
  • Include gem 'poppler' in your Gemfile

This still breaks with an error:

GObjectIntrospection::RepositoryError::TypelibNotFound: Typelib file for namespace 'Poppler'

Related issue here which also includes a link to a PR which is supposed to resolve the issue. Waiting on merge into the build pack

Rails uses the ppftoppm tool provided by poppler-utils, so in an Debian/Ubuntu-based image you need apt-get install poppler-utils
