--- Comment #7 from dummydummy at gmx.fr ---
Unfortunately the preceding patch does not resolve the problem on its own.

Comparing main() of pdftotext.cc with the page::text() in
.../gcc/poppler-page.cpp there are 2 other differences:

(1) doc->displayPage(&td, d->index + 1, 72, 72, 0, FALSE, TRUE, false); vs
doc->displayPages(textOut, firstPage, lastPage, resolution, resolution, 0,
TRUE, FALSE, gFalse);
i.e. page::text () sets GBool useMediaBox = false, GBool crop = true and in
pdftotext it is the other way round!?

I have yet to investigate what this means by reading the source...

(2) the page::text() in .../gcc/poppler-page.cpp subsequently calls
td.getText() while pdftotext does not... Yet more source code to wade
through...

to be continued...
