Today I was totally fed up with the by now notorious extra white page and hinted by the original kpdf developer that the ubuntu version of kpdf is too heavily modified to support from his side, I compiled and tried the original version, distributed with kdegraphics-3.5.10. To my surprise the extra white page is now gone! So my plea to the ubuntu maintainers would be: PLEASE stay away from the kpdf code and leave it as it is, it looks like you're breaking more than you're fixing!
