The line "TeXworks 0.5r952 (Debian)" indicates that this you are using a Debian build (maybe the one pulled into Ubuntu automatically?). It seems that it was built against an older version of poppler.

Could you try if the same error occurs with one of the PPAs at https://launchpad.net/~texworks ?

[stepcellwolf (stepcellwolf)]

Hello Stefan,

I have tried with the following PPA:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/texworks/stable/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/texworks/stable/ubuntu precise main

And it did work without any problem, likewise, the issue was from the
repository that I had in a source list.

Thank you.

BR,
Predrag

You seem to have installed a version of libpoppler-qt4-3 from a PPA. Please try reinstalling the package with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpoppler-qt4-3

If that does not help, please disable the PPA and install the official version.

[stepcellwolf (stepcellwolf)]

It did help, the issue is resolved.

Thx
