Perhaps instead of xpdf, it will be possible to use the poppler library for an Android application (NDK)?

I need to create an Android application that shows PDF files, and I want to use the xpdf or poppler . This question only concerns these two options. I already know how to use poppler-qt4 , so I would prefer to use it, but I'm afraid that compiling it with NDK will produce a huge binary. It is right? Should I use xpdf ?

Question: "Will I have problems if I create an Android application with poppler-qt4 ?"

On the official website :

Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on xpdf-3.0 code.

So, I think the differences may not be so huge.

Integrating popplar can be complicated, though, since it does not provide an interface for the Android system.

I am not sure about xpdf.

EDIT:

Am I having problems if I create an Android app with calls to poppler-qt4 methods?

Since the two GUI systems are very different from each other and do not have much in common, yes, I think it will be a difficult task.
