I've been getting this behavior on certain PDF files for about two months now. I'm also x86_64 and I have:
epdfview 0.1.8-3
poppler-0.18.2-1

If I can't see a file when it first opens up, I can see it sometimes at a different zoom level.
Just to give a random example from google, this file:
http://ntl.bts.gov/lib/20000/20800/20828/PB98153612.pdf
If I get this, it opens to a gray screen. If I zoom out a few times it shows up at 48.2% zoom. Weirdly enough, it only seems to show up between 48.1-48.3%.

If I get this one though, the first page appears correctly at any zoom level that I try, but the second page wants me to zoom to between 45-69% before it'll show me something other than the background gray.

Unfortunately I can reproduce this with the linked documents, even with a rebuilt package.
The pdf opens fine with okular.

Could you report this upstream?

similar here:

*epdfview-0.1.8-3-x86_64
*poppler-0.18.3-2-x86_64


with "PB98153612.pdf" i can't see anything if zoom is less than 173% and more than 48,2%

with "kuo_99.pdf" i see only the first page normally
subsequent pages only at zoom above 140% or less than 69,4%

with evince or other no problem !

Same issue occurs in Ubuntu 12.04 (epdfview 0.1.8-1build1, libpoppler-glib8 0.18.4-1ubuntu2).

Ubuntu 11.10 (with poppler 0.16.7-2ubuntu2) doesn't have this bug.
