[poppler] pdftotext -bbox page size

[Albert Astals Cid]

Tom, you suggested the reverse change 9 years ago

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/commit/807c1df2bf79c7c6378390b41dc230d80533ae3f

Do you remember why? Anything that William may be missing?

Cheers,
  Albert

> It looks pdftotext -bbox writes the maximum extent of the MediaBox into the <page> element instead of writing the page size.
> Can I submit a patch to change it, or to add an option to change it, or to write more values in the <page width=... depth=...> line?
> For example, I have a pdf where pdfinfo -box says
> Page size:      84.95 x 2210.75 pts
