My system has poppler-utils v0.24.5
. From the official site I found that the latest version is 0.40.0
.
I tried to update it using following command
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade poppler-utils
but it doesn't upgrade and show following message.
poppler-utils is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 14 not upgraded.
Can anybody please help me to upgrade to latest version?

This is because Ubuntu focuses on stability, not bleeding edge packages, this means that the software in the repositories can be outdated and you must build it from source yourself.
First remove the current installed version
Install the required build tools
Run these commands to build and install
Now
poppler-0.40.0
is installed on your computer.
