Hi Tellie, this one displays PDF's fine, thanks.
One minor nit is that in ANPM the description displays %{title}. Guess it needs something in the Summary besides %{tiltle}. Very minor and not worth fixing unless a new version ever gets released.

Yup, works here as well, which is very cool: Thank You Slvan!

Having said that, still no icons showing up in the menu, etc...is anyone else seeing this as well, or is that just me?

I see icons on most menu's, see attached.
I did find it doesn't handle all PDF's, tried the owners manual for this computer, lots of blank pages, if scrolling some image appears and disappears too fast to see.

Hmmm...???

Not here, no icons anywhere, although the QT4 apps shows them all.

Any ideas what to look at?

Do I perhaps have some sort of QT5 component missing/miss-configured you think???

EDIT
====

So I only had the qt5-qtbase.pentium4 RPM installed...looking at what's out there I realized that there were numerous other QT5 RPMs, some like qt5-qtmultimedia or even qt5-qtsvg could be playing a role here.

Needless to say, off I went to install qt5 RPM, which in turn pulled in what I presume is the full combination of QT5 implementation RPMs.

End result => icons do now show! (so there is probably another QT5 package that is needed and which is not currently shown in qpdfview's 'install.os2' file).

Try moving %HOME%\.config\qpdfview out of the way and retest.
Just now, no PDF's were showing here including some that worked yesterday, moved the config file out of the way and the PDF's are now displaying.
