<pre>If poppler_document_new_from_data() is fed a corrupt PDF, this output goes to
stderr rather than being put to the GError* passed to it:
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
In order to stop this output from going to stderr, one must use libpoppler's
setErrorFunction() from Error.h, which is not part of the glib interface.
It would be better if either (1) the glib interface caught these warnings and
returned them in the GError*, or (2) gave some indication in the documentation
that one needs to set one's own error handler to do this.
I'm reporting this against poppler 0.18.4 on Fedora 17.</pre>
