As for xpdf, the date of the latest release is not necessarily an indicator if a program is maintained or not. The main question is: Does an development team exist? Does it is active? Does bugreports get noted, etc. So even if the last release was 2007 xpdf can still be maintained (but i haven't checked it).
BTW: An good indicator if a program is maintained, at least for free operating systems, is if all (most) distributions packetise it. Because they will probably not ship buggy or dangerous software so even if upstream is not avtive the software is probably maintained by the distributions.
