Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2009-07-20 19:39:37 UTC 
Are you able to open any PDF documents?
Looks like you installed Okular from distro packages, correct?
Comment 2 Patrick Shanahan 2009-07-20 20:37:19 UTC 
I believe I remember being able to open one, will search and advise.

Comment 3 Patrick Shanahan 2009-07-20 20:45:38 UTC 
I cannot find a pdf on my system that okular *will* open  :^(
Comment 4 Pino Toscano 2009-07-20 22:48:37 UTC 
In the File -> Open menu, do you see any "PDF document" choice in the filter combo box (the one in the bottom of the dialog)?
Comment 5 Patrick Shanahan 2009-07-21 03:51:12 UTC 
yes, 
PDF document
PDF document (gzip-compressed)
PDF document (bzip-compressed)
Comment 6 Pino Toscano 2009-07-22 15:01:18 UTC 
Does it work if you run `kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental` in a terminal?
Also, please post the result of the command:
$ ldd `kde4-config --prefix`/lib/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so | grep poppler
Comment 7 Patrick Shanahan 2009-07-22 15:53:00 UTC 
No, in a terminal after running 'kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental', okular will run, but still does not open pdf's.

$ ldd `kde4-config --prefix`/lib/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so | grep poppler

yealds:

ldd: /usr/lib/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so: No such file or directory

but the file exists.  This is an x86_64 system.

/usr/lib64/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so

and creating a sym-link does not help :^(

tks
Comment 8 Pino Toscano 2009-07-22 15:59:42 UTC 
No need to create symlinks; just execute
$ ldd /usr/lib64/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so | grep -i poppler
and paste its result here.
