            Bug ID: 103823
           Summary: Add option to omit DOCTYPE for XML output
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: pdftohtml
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: gerrit.imsieke at le-tex.de

Currently (I’m using 0.57.0 on Cygwin), with the -xml option, there is always a
DOCTYPE declaration with no public identifier and the system identifier
'pdf2xml.dtd'.
The issue is that I can’t use an XML catalog to direct pdf2xml.dtd to a
(possibly empty) DTD. This is an issue with relative paths as system
identifiers. It is described on
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/WriteCatalog.html#RelativeSysId
As a consequence, I need to remove the DOCTYPE line manually or with xmllint in
order to be able to process the output with Java-based tools such as oXygen,
Saxon, or XML Calabash. 
Please add either a public identifier (any non-empty string will do) that can
be diverted by means of an XML catalog, or add a command-line option not to
issue a DOCTYPE declaration at all.
