 At this point (the PDF works in other viewers, and recreating the
problem needs 3.7GB of TeX to be installed as a prerequisite) I guess
that most people who read this list cannot help.  So, I'll just
reply to some of Dan's points.

 Actually, it's the other way round - 0.24.5 is the release (look at
the tarball name!), and based on what Magnus showed us, 44 is the
library version for libpoppler itself.

 Marcus said it worked in other viewers.  If you want to try, a
viewer using poppler (via libpoppler-glib) is epdfview.  It can't
handle every PDF I come across, but it is comparatively simple to
build.  Last time I looked, gentoo had retired it.  But we still
have build instructions for it in BLFS.
