hello jose, 

a big thank for your trying to help.
i'm building poppler in the debian fashion, using the patches that come with
debian poppler and my own ones, in order to improve poppler without breaking my
debian/gnome environment.

i'm not sure how did you test the library. i'd rather use pdftotext like that:
pdftotext -fixed 9 -reorder default test.pdf output.txt
i'll upload test.pdf

as my environment is hebrew enabled, would you please send me the output file?

thanks in advance,
alex
