[poppler] Retrieve all objects from a PDF file

[Nedim Srndic]

I'm sorry, I see now that I wasn't clear enough. I would like to
enumerate every PDF dictionary from a given PDF file, including but not
limited to the Catalog, Pages, Actions, Annotations, Name tree -
everything. Currently I can successfully do that for all dictionaries
that can be located using XRef, but it seems that indirect objects
inside object streams cannot be found this way. I could obviously test
if any of the objects pointed to by the XRef is an object stream and get
all the objects from the stream, but I'm wondering if Poppler has a more
elegant solution.
