To be 100% pedantic - they need to be in PDDocEncoding (which is
pretty much ISO Latin 1).
This is a known issue with the PDF file format and the standard
security handlers that it provides. Don't bother trying to fix this
in Poppler - since that won't solve the underlying issue.
Now that PDF is in the ISO's hands - I suspect that this will be
addressed in a future ISO-based release.
