Which poppler library version are you using?
libpoppler-qt4-4 0.20.0-2.2.1
Problem solved after the following updates: libpoppler-qt4-4 0.20.0-2.2.1 => 0.20.3-87.1 libpoppler25 (0.20.0-2.2.1) => libpoppler27 0.20.3-86.1 It turns out that updating libpoppler is simpler than updating okular. Thanks for the quick response that pointed me toward a solution.
