Seems I am not anle to see it in our git-repository... did you do those;

git checkout master -b filter-words-pdfimport-panks
git commit -a
git push

steps and did it succeed?

I think we need to have an own poppler OutputDev implementation in a 
similar way like at 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/utils/HtmlOutputDev.cc 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/utils/>. We first can 
add a skeleton for that that does nothing more but to reimplement the 
beginString/endString/addChar methods and then write them to ODF 
<p><span></span></p> in a similar way the 
calligra/filters/words/ascii/AsciiImport.cpp does.

For that we are maybe forced to get a complete copy of poppler into e.g. 
calligra/filters/words/pdfimport/poppler/* when upstream doesn't allow 
to link against the libpoppler-library. We will see.

Then we would have the very basic thing already working; read the 
strings and put them into a ODT so the plain-text becomes visible in 
Words when our import-filter loads a PDF. As next step we could then add 
simple formattings like font-style, bold/italic/underline/etc and once 
that is done add the code to handle images.

Please make sure that your current code is in our git so I can help 
direct on the concrete code-base with getting this points named above 
accomplished. Lot of thanks in advance :-)
