hi,

pdftotext fails to extract text from specific pdf (see attachment).
exit status is 0 and no warnings or errors are reported.
the output file contains only 99 page break characters (0x0c).

i am sure the pdf contains text because when is save the document
using acrobat reader as text then plenty of text is extracted and saved.

i can also view the document on linux (centos 5.5 and fedora core 14)
using evince without problems.

i tried the following versions, all gave the same result.

poppler 0.5.4   centos 5.5   x86_64
poppler 0.14.5  fedora fc14  x86_64
poppler git     fedora fc14  x86_64

best regards
ulrich
