On a machine where the locale is set to something not equivalent to ASCII, the call to awk in get_pdf_version() will throw the following error:

awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=1) warning: Invalid multibyte data detected. There may be a mismatch between your data and your locale.

This can be fixed by forcing the C locale by prepending the call to awk with LC_ALL=C.

Reported and fixed by Laurent MUGNIER.
