- It happens with any PDF file you open or just with certain files?

- It happens when opening a PDF file or just when you want to run a 
specific funtion (such printing)?

- Does okular or another pdf viewer work?

Yes, I meant "ia32-libs" but this package is only required for installing/
running 32-bits compiled applications inside a 64-bits system and given 
your comments below I'm not sure this is your case.

If it's a "pure" 64 bits package then I'm lost. Why would it require 32-
bits libraries? A bug... somewhere? :-?

So what we have here is a 64-bits package and 64-bits system. It should 
be called the proper library with no complains at all so I'm not sure 
who's the culprit. We can blame:

1/ Acrobat for requesting the wrong libraries (32-bits?)
2/ The system package in charge of loading the proper libraries

:-)

I'm not sure what path to follow from here, how about asking at D-M 
mailing list to get further feedback?
