Nelson Benítez León requested to merge nbenitez/poppler:reconstruct_xref_update_CLEAN3 into master Dec 03, 2023

Update the code, that reconstructs a damaged file when opening it, to the Xpdf 4.04 version.

This allows for some password encrypted PDF files to be correctly opened by Poppler.

Fixes #1447 (closed)
