IIRC there was a significant API change at that point.
OK. Does that mean the poppler tqt wrapper in tdegraphics does not build when previous versions of poppler are found?
If yes, then what does not function as expected?

No idea, other than the only problem would be a build failure, not a loss of functionality after an apparently successful build :-) I build TDE across a wide range of package versions on the build farm, and have not seen a Poppler related failure in some time.

There were poppler changes at 0.16. The biggest issue is that is the last release that supported Qt3 natively. I don't recall a 0.17, but everything with poppler 0.18 on was built supporting Qt4 only upstream. You couldn't even configure poppler to build Qt3 binding and longer.
I don't know the status at all for TDE. This looks like a package were we will need to bring the last version that supported Qt3 into the GIT tree (may already be there, I'm going from memory).
I used to maintain poppler-qt3 for Arch in AUR and it is no longer buildable from upstream.
