Just a friendly FYI: I've run across many occurrences of a PDF file where 
'kghostview' renders nothing, or incompletely, or (on documents that have 
mixed page orientations [portrait and landscape]) in the wrong page 
orientation. In every such occurrence (IIRC), 'xpdf' renders the same content 
perfectly.

I'd keep 'xpdf' around for just such an occasion.

   Fortunately, I keep a spare for just such an emergency.
