Bug Description
qpdfview version: 0.4.18
poppler version: 0.80.0
Linux distribution: Arch Linux
I've created two simple LaTeX files. "b.tex" has graphicx package and an image included in it. "a.tex" does not. I create pdf files with pdflatex out of these two and call them "a.pdf" and "b.pdf". I am able to open "a.pdf" but not "b.pdf" in qpdfview. I am able to open "b.pdf" in Atril and it works fine. I am able to open "b.pdf" in new tab in qpdfview and it works fine, if I already have some other file open in another qpdfview tab. Following video explains the behaviour better. In it I also show contents of "a.tex" and "b.tex" and how I created pdfs out of them.

Hello Toni,
thank you for taking the time to report this! Could you please attach both TeX documents and the resulting PDF files to this bug report? As a first guess, you could try running "file" against both PDF documents to see if there is a difference (qpdfview relies on libmagic/file or the shared MIME type database for file type detection).
Best regards,
Adam
