Does reinstalling Okular via this command on command line help?

    apt install --reinstall libokular5core8 okular

Good news in any case is that the PDF files themselves should not be affected in any way, it's "just" the Okular installation that is somehow messed up on your system.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood then. If your initial problem is still there after reinstalling the Okular packages as mentioned in comment 1, feel free to reopen and provide additional information...
