Bug Description

After a recent poppler update neither Evince nor Qpdfview will open pdf files that opened before the update. These files open properly using gv (which uses Ghostview instead of poppler).

Confirmed with the example from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1803059/comments/10 , it's a regression from the poppler security update
