I installed the latest poppler via
conda create --name newenv poppler
The installed folder have exe files in them like pdftotext.exe, pdfattach.exe
Is there somewhere where I can down the exe files of Poppler directly without using conda install?
I can't use conda install on my office laptop.
Thank you
For windows it is confusing which version to use. Current poppler stable is poppler-21.09
Release 21.09.0:
core:
* Splash: Massive speed improvement on files that use lots of save/restore (q/Q) operators
* Correct decoding of signature properties Reason & Location when they are Unicode
* Fix issues with malformed files
* MSVC build fixes
Conda-Forge is usually up to date
So sort into this order and look for newest (not always the latest stable) see the high number of downloads for 6 month old version, but often users dont update to newest. Currently conda-forge is at 21.08..._1 perhaps wait and check in a day or two.

Also note they are (for windows unusually) filename.tar.bz2 and windows native TAR version seems reluctant to handle them so requires 7-Zip or similar extractor !!
I suggest you unpack the set to a New folder then drill down to
New folder\poppler-21.08.0-h24fffdf_1.tar\Library\bin
and there find the latest set

The docs in MAN format are nested in Folder
New folder\poppler-21.08.0-h24fffdf_1.tar\Library\share\man\man1
but in that format are as useful as chocolate kettles to a windows user and the wiki is not much better. https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler/
There is a slightly slower spin-off track that repackages Conda-Forge versions into ZIP so is more useful to windows natives but currently at 21.08.0 is two steps behind the nix versions.
