Current (before the "Creators" update) version is Ubuntu 14.04, which only has xpdf v3.03. Xpdf latest version is v3.04, so you may want to wait for the "Creators" update to try again. Or try the Windows binary directly from the foolabs site.
My guess is that John M. is probably running the latest Linux version of the xpdf tool.
