I can see you point that the verification should be included if all
applications were to use it. 

However, I was not just sure if it is good to add a dependency to a particular
crypto library. There are Gnutls, openssl and NSS and possibly other? I have
not used any of them for this purpose (I am mainly a Java developer now days
and normally use the Bouncy Castle API). And as Brad mentions the trusted root
certificates might be fetched from some keystore integrated with the desktop.

I think my initial idea was to have support in poppler to get only that is
needed and then an application could implement the rest and later some of that
could be refactored and moved back into poppler, but that's just and idea you
know better how poppler works.

Regarding the code related question: I have not been using poppler before and I
noticed while looking at this that there was at least two ways of doing it. I
did not really understand the implications of choosing one over the other. What
is recommended - storing the Object in the class or copy the string? I wasn't
also sure I was freeing the memory correctly...
