             Bug #: 50739
           Summary: Unable to convert PDF to xml using pdftohtml (empty
                    pages)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: pdftohtml

When I convert
http://nrk.no/contentfile/file/1.8116520!offentligjournal02052012.pdf
to XML using

  pdftohtml -xml -noframes 1.8116520\!offentligjournal02052012.pdf

I get the following content-less XML file.  I find this rather strange,
as the PDF is searchable using xpdf, okular and evince.  Any idea where
the text went?  Anything I can do to get access to the text as XML?

This is the output I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
