Thanks a bunch Gilles and Derek. I increased the max_doc_size from 600 K
to 1.6 M and the rest of the error message disappeared; only one line per
file still is reported, which is innocuous I believe:
______________________________________________________________________________
Error (1024): PDF version 1.3 -- xpdf supports version 1.2 (continuing anyway)

Best regards and looking forward to XPDF with 1.3 support;)
