To my knowledge, both are essentially unmaintained. I don't know 
actually the status of Poppler stuff, but didn't see updates since a 
long time.

You can build ViewPDF against this PDFKit and it will work, I used it as 
a regression test.
I have a locally patched ViewPDF that works with PDFKit, but I guess 
there is no interest in updating the tree in gsimageapps and I don't 
know if it is worth putting it anywhere else.

GWorkspace's PDF content Inspector uses PDFkit.

And PDFKit remains available for anybody wanting to write his own PDF 
based application.

You might want to write your own with this or use something else, your 
choice.
