I realize that my previous email can be perceived incorrectly. I should have been less terse. Below is what I probably should have said initially. Cezar - I simply meant that you have provided zero information for us to go on. Do you get any sort of errors? Have you tried any other solutions (zathura? mupdf? okular?) What errors are being printed (if any) to stderr/stdout when launching xpdf? This sort of debugging is essential when attempting to help over mailinglists or other electronic forms of communication. We aren't able to see into your machine to grab this debugging information and asking the same questions over and over becomes tiring (on our end), and so it sometimes becomes...difficult to continue to ask and we become cranky.
