After more than 6 months of waiting I reinstalled ubuntu, which fixed the problem. As I said, every pdf caused it, but I can obviously no longer reproduce the bug. I have attached a pdf from my old home directory's downloads folder that I wasn't able to open in the past in case you have another way of reproducing it.
