Which poppler version do you have?
Comment 3 micu 2009-10-21 23:27:45 UTC 
version 0.15.5

Thanks for the help: I remember, there was a security update for libpoppler recently. I downgraded the package libpoppler4 0.11.5-1ubuntu2.4 to 0.11.5-1ubuntu2.2 and now it works. Thanks a lot! Now I can purge this proprietary acroread and use my FOSSy okular again ;).
Comment 4 micu 2009-10-21 23:29:04 UTC 
s/0.15.5/0.10.5
Sorry!
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2009-10-21 23:56:34 UTC 
you should warn the packagers of your distribution so they rebuild okular against the newer poppler, as obviously is a good idea to run a poppler with all the security fixes included.

Closing as the user says it works for him.
