Notes on Poppler/ActiveStorage on Heroku

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
