I believe pdftohtml includes its own copy of the xpdf code. Or at least
that part of the xpdf code that it needs. So having a newer version of
xpdf installed somewhere on your system shouldn't have anything to do with
how pdftohtml behaves. At least that is my understanding. The version 0.31
pdftohtml code uses version 0.90 xpdf code, which did not yet include
decryption support.

If you really want pdftohtml with decryption, you can add the 0.90
decryption patch to pdftohtml's xpdf tree. It is just a little messy
since pdftohtml doesn't include the entire xpdf tree, but it can be
done.
