[poppler] (OT) setting PDF document language

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Sorry for replying to this message that I wrote myself almost two months
ago.

Leonard, you asked privately for a sample document, I sent two samples
after that, but since you haven't replied to any of the three messages I
sent, I wonder whether your spam filtering is rejecting my messages.

Here you have both samples:

Just in case they might be useful. Thanks,


Pablo
