Comment # 1 on bug 890443 from Philipp Seiler

Sorry for the very late answer. I added a submit request from a home repository
which adds support for poppler pdf. There was a zathura update which I didn't
get informed that outsourced the pdf part. You can monitor it here.

If it's accepted I will push it to factory.
