[poppler] poppler pdftops regressions

[William Bader]

Hi Thomas,

I am working on updating my "old" patches.  I hope to post them tonight.

>Didn't think that still someone use level1 option :-) Aren't that printers been already in a museum?

I am building pages from eps files produced by pdftops, and I need -level1sep to get software color separations to come out right.
-level2sep sometimes generates color that the software can't separate.

Regards,
William
