+> **Why the Poppler pin?** Chocolatey `poppler` packages newer than `0.89.0` do not ship working Windows binaries (`25.x`+ contain only the source tarball, and the `22.11.x` builds are missing their dependency DLLs), so `0.89.0` is the newest version that works there. If you prefer a current Poppler, download a prebuilt release from [poppler-windows](https://github.com/oschwartz10612/poppler-windows/releases) instead, extract it, and point `postscript-preview.path.pdftocairo` / `postscript-preview.path.pdfinfo` at the executables in its `Library\bin` folder (see [Configuration](#configuration)).
