I have added pdftotext to my empty project which doesn't show any issue. But the import of pdftotext fails with

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/job/tmp/cpp-test/py-proj/main.py", line 1, in <module> import pdftotext ImportError: dlopen(/Users/job/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/py-proj-MwQLW4NT-py3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pdftotext.cpython-312-darwin.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/poppler/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib Referenced from: <28235015-8AF0-3ACA-8C71-91EE14C17972> /Users/job/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/py-proj-MwQLW4NT-py3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pdftotext.cpython-312-darwin.so Reason: tried: '/opt/homebrew/opt/poppler/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/opt/poppler/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/opt/poppler/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler/25.04.0/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler/25.04.0/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler/25.04.0/lib/libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib' (no such file)

It looks like that it is linked to the wrong poppler lib. /System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/opt/poppler/lib/ contains libpoppler-cpp.2.dylib but not libpoppler-cpp.1.dylib.

If I install pdftotextwith pip it seems to work w/o problems.

I assumed the version is somehow cached (the problem occurred after I have upgraded poppler). But poetry cache clear --all PyPIdid not resolve the issue. Does anybody know where the version number is stored?

Any help is appreciated.
