All current LibreOffice branches, including 6-0-7, have the patch 
mentioned by Stephan previously. You may see the source here:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sdext/source/pdfimport/xpdfwrapper/pdfioutdev_gpl.hxx?h=libreoffice-6-0-7

and the commit to 6-1 here:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit?id=106b2c96e9807af14d6eb6e8f83dcf25095a093e

The commit conditionally makes the parameter const when reported poppler 
is 0.64 or newer, following the poppler change "Add const to several 
classes and members" (see 
https://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html). Poppler 0.64 and newer 
does have the const in the declaration of drawString - you may check its 
source code at 
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/poppler/OutputDev.h?h=poppler-0.64.0, 
and the commit is 
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/poppler/OutputDev.h?h=poppler-0.64.0&id=c4af5981ab2a5f42a9a1194bb5929c2151fc2674.

So the problem in your situation is most likely that you have messed up 
with the mix of new and old headers and library.
