Hi all;
Maybe somebody can reproduce this: opening the attached pdf in kpdf only shows the formulas, but not the text. Opening the same pdf in xpdf works flawless.

I have had such a thing happen, but only in a very specific way; and the details might actually be pertinent and help you. Then again, maybe not.
I create many, many, many pdfs, more or less on-the-fly. I create a print-ready pdf, but then I notice some little mistake, or a flaw in presentation, so I go back to LibreOffice and make changes, then save again as a pdf.
Sometimes when I open such a new document without first closing the old one, I see no text; usually I do see the graphics, but then these don't change so often. I have to make sure that I manually reload the new document, then text appears.
Like I said, it may not meaning anything for your own situation. Probably not many people will have a reason to create pdfs in this manner. I have tried to make this systematic and routine, if not quite automatic. I flip back and forth between the two screens, LibreOffice and kpdf, and slowly make it look like my imagined finished document.
So I wonder if you are somehow doing something like that, and you only need to reload the document.
