It hangs in the poppler library, when rendering page #1; it can be verified easily on a terminal using the pdftoppm poppler utility: `pdftoppm -png -f 1 -l 1 Leitfaden_Desktopmigration.pdf out`. And poppler actually does not hang forever, it is just extremely slow (took 6 minutes an half here with the pdftoppm command above). This is a poppler issue (verified also with latest stable poppler, 0.16.7), although it renders much faster in the development version (the future 0.18).
right poppler-0.17.1 works here at an almost stable x86 Gentoo much better.
