<pre>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...</pre>
