Comment 36 for bug 521533

> It seems that poppler libraries in your system are too old (Okular itself is
> up-to-date). You need to install at least poppler-0.20 (or better 0.22) to

> Try to find some PPA with newer version (Debian Sid has 0.18.4, Ubuntu 13.04
> has 0.20.5 and Ubuntu 13.10 has 0.24.1). Sorry.

> Please take into account that some other applications (e.g. Inkscape) can be

Oh how strange, thank you. I will figure this out! Sorry to have made assumptions about things…
