Is there a reason it doesn't depend on pdf-tools?

The first thing that would have to be changed is the "Version" header.
It is currently set to "0" which is a MELPA-ism but ELPA interprets as
"unreleased".  Just bump it to whatever version greater than 0 that you
prefer.  Every time you bump the version tag, a new release will be
built and distributed.
