`PDF_data` not working

[muschellij2]

I am getting an error with the poppler version though it is up to date:

Duplicate of https://github.com/ropensci/pdftools/issues/44, but the error message is just not accurate though.

This was finally fixed in libpoppler, and will be in the next version of pdftools.

This is fixed in pdftool 2.0, which is now on CRAN.
