Another thing, when this happen, right clicking on PDF file with Konqueror, then on Property, it does't recognize it as PDF, only something about "octet/stream" for the MIME. I tried "yum groupupdate KDE" and still did not help. Out of desperation, I re-installed AdobeReader_enu via RPM. And suddenly KPDF works again, and KDE recognize PDF again.
